Villa and Zapata take Mexico City
1914 · Event
With Huerta beaten and the victors split, the two peasant armies of the revolution ride into the capital together — Villa in the presidential chair for the photograph, Zapata wary beside him. Neither man wants to govern; within weeks they return to their home ground, and Carranza's Constitutionalists take the country instead.
