reformers• Guerilla warfare

The Problem of Land

• Poor farmers wanted land of their own• Wanted to break up giant haciendas and give

each family a few acres.• The land of the haciendas once belonged to

the village farmers.• A law passed in 1883 made it easy for rich

ranch owners to take the land of villages to form haciendas.

Emiliano Zapata

"I am determined to fight against anything and anyone with nothing more than the confidence and support of my people".

Who is Emiliano Zapata?

• Legendary fighter for farmers’ rights

• Motto: land and liberty• Fought in the south of Mexico• Murdered in 1919

• People have long taken different sides on their evaluation of Emiliano Zapata and his followers.

• Some considered them bandits, but to others

they were true revolutionaries who worked for the peasants

The End

• On April 10, 1919, Zapata was tricked into a meeting with one of Carranza's generals who wanted to "switch sides." The meeting was a trap, and Zapata was killed as he arrived at the meeting.
