On February 22nd, 1913, Francisco Modero was assassinated by General Victoriano Huerta. Resulting from this, General Victoriano Huerta took control of the Nation of Mexico. As surprising as this was for the people of Mexico, politics and the sporadic killing of leaders was only beginning. While this event may have lead to the occurrence of other killings is not certain; however, there were large effects politically and for the people within the nation. There was confusion that arose and although Huerta reached out to Zapata to combine their forces, Zapata refused. This event can show how individuals began to collectively take control and assert their visions on the nation which was chaotic due to the fact that not everybody's vision for Mexico was the same.
