The Ten Tragic Days
1913 · Event
Ten days of artillery duels wreck Mexico City while General Victoriano Huerta — Madero's own commander, with the US ambassador brokering in the embassy — betrays and deposes the president. Madero and his vice-president are shot 'attempting escape'; the revolution now has a martyr and a usurper to destroy.
