The Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) swept across Mexico like wildfire, destroying the old order and bringing about great changes. For ten bloody years, powerful warlords battled one another and the Federal government. In the smoke, death, and chaos, several men clawed their way to the top. Who were the protagonists of the Mexican Revolution?

Huerta, a raging alcoholic, was one of Diaz' former generals and an ambitious man in his own right. He served Diaz in the early days of the revolution and then stayed on when Madero took office. As former allies like Pascual Orozco and Emiliano Zapata abandoned Madero, Huerta saw his change. Seizing on some fighting in Mexico City as an opportunity, Huerta arrested and executed Madero in February of 1913, seizing power for himself. With the exception of Pascual Orozco, the major Mexican warlords were united in their hatred of Huerta. An alliance of Zapata, Carranza, Villa, and Obregon brought Huerta down in 1914.

Venustiano Carranza was another man who saw the lawless years of the Mexican Revolution as an opportunity. Carranza was a rising political star in his home state of Coahuila and was elected to the Mexican Congress and Senate before the revolution. He supported Madero, but when Madero was executed and the whole nation fell apart, Carranza saw his chance. He named himself President in 1914 and acted as if he were. He fought anyone who said otherwise and allied himself with the ruthless Alvaro Obregon. Carranza eventually reached the presidency (officially this time) in 1917. In 1920, he foolishly double-crossed Obregon, who drove him from the Presidency and had him killed.

These are the main people:

Napoleon Bonaparte A general in the French army and leader of the 1799 coup that overthrew the Directory. Napoleon's accession marked the end of the French Revolution and the beginning of Napoleonic France and Europe.

Louis XVI The French king from 1774 to 1792 who was deposed during the French Revolution and executed in 1793. Louis XVI inherited the debt problem left by his grandfather, Louis XV, and added to the crisis himself through heavy spending during France's involvement in the American Revolution from 1775 to 1783. Because this massive debt overwhelmed all of his financial consultants, Louis XVI was forced to give in to the demands of the Parlement of Paris and convene the Estates-General-an action that led directly to the outbreak of the Revolution. Louis XVI was deposed in 1792 and executed a year later.

Marie-Antoinette The wife of King Louis XVI and, in the French commoners' eyes, the primary symbol of the French royalty's extravagance and excess. When Marie-Antoinette was executed in 1793, she was dressed in a plain dress, common to the poorest in French society.

Maximilien Robespierre A brilliant political tactician and leader of the radical Jacobins in the National Assembly. As chairman of the Committee of Public Safety, Robespierre pursued a planned economy and vigorous mobilization for war. He grew increasingly paranoid about counterrevolutionary opposition, however, and during the Reign of Terror of 1793-1794 attempted to silence all enemies of the Revolution in an effort to save France from invasion. After the moderates regained power and the Thermidorian Reaction was under way, they had Robespierre executed on July 28, 1794.

Jacques Necker A Swiss-born banker who served as France's director general of finance in the late 1770s, with high hopes of instituting reform. As it turned out, Necker was able only to propose small efforts at eliminating costly inefficiencies. He did produce a government budget, however, for the first time in French history.

Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès A liberal member of the clergy, supporter of the Third Estate, and author of the fiery 1789 pamphlet "What Is the Third Estate?" Sieyès was one of the primary leaders of the Third Estate's effort at political and economic reform in France.

Georges Jacques Danton, Lucie Simplice Camille Benoist Desmoulins, Maximilien Francois Marie Isidore de Robespierre, and Louis Antoine Leon de Saint-Just all had critical leadership roles in bringing about and carrying out the French Revolution. Danton observed, La revolution devore ses enfants [The revolution eats up its children]. And all four indeed had lost their heads by the time the revolution ended.

#1 Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès

#2 Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, Count of Mirabeau

Before the French Revolution, the reputation of Comte de Mirabeau was in ruins due to various scandalous love affairs and gambling debts. However his capacity for work and extensive knowledge made him popular among the crowds during the Revolution. Among other things, he understood that for a government to be strong, it must be in harmony with the wishes of the majority of the people. Founded in 1789 by anti-royalists, the Jacobin Club was the most influential political club during the French Revolution. An excellent orator, Mirabeau became a leading figure in the Jacobin Club in the early stages of the Revolution and he was even elected its president in December 1790. The following year his health began to fail and he died in Paris on April 2. At the time of his death, he was hailed as one of the fathers of the Revolution. However, it was later revealed that Mirabeau had been in secret service of King Louis XVI receiving 6,000 livres a month. This shattered his reputation in France. His corpse was removed from the Panthéon, placed in a lead coffin and interred in a communal burial ground.

#3 Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette

After fighting for the United States in the American Revolution, Marquis de Lafayette got involved in the French Revolution. In consultation with Thomas Jefferson and along with Abbe Sieyes, Lafayette wrote the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. The Declaration represented the core values of the French Revolution. It had a major impact on the development of freedom and democracy in Europe and worldwide. As leader of the National Guard, Lafayette attempted to maintain order and steer a middle ground, even as the radicals gained increasing influence. Lafayette was accused of being a traitor when the king and his family almost escaped in 1791. The following year he had to flee from France as the radicals ordered his arrest. He was captured by Austrian troops and spent more than five years in prison. Lafayette returned to France after Napoleon Bonaparte secured his release in 1797.

#4 Jean-Paul Marat

#5 Jacques Pierre Brissot

The National Convention was the first government of the French Revolution. The first phase of the convention, which lasted from September 1792 to May 1793, was dominated by the struggle between two groups, the Montagnards and the Girondins. The Montagnards were the most radical group which focused on the needs of the urban poor while the Girondins were more moderate and attracted a following of businessmen, merchants, industrialists and financiers. Jacques Pierre Brissot was the most prominent leader of the Girondins to the extent that their opponents often called them Brissotins. He was an influential member of the diplomatic committee and his report led to France declaring war on Great Britain and the Dutch. However, as the Montagnards gained power, Brissot was accused of being friends with a traitor and of bringing war upon France. He was ultimately guillotined on October 31, 1793.

#6 Maximilien Robespierre

#7 Louis Antoine de Saint-Just

Louis Antoine de Saint-Just was the youngest of the deputies elected to the National Convention in 1792. He came to prominence when he gave a fiery speech at the Convention condemning King Louis XVI. He demanded that "Louis Capet" should be judged not as a king or even a citizen, but as a traitor, an enemy who deserves death. After spearheading the movement that led to the execution of the king, Saint-Just drafted the radical French Constitution of 1793. During the Reign of Terror, he became a close ally of Robespierre. Saint-Just was dubbed the "Angel of Death" as he became the face of Terror with his organization of the arrests and prosecutions of many well known figures of the Revolution. He was also sent as a figure of authority to the French Army during its rocky start in the French Revolutionary Wars. He is said to have helped in the revival of the army through his implementation of strict discipline. Saint-Just was executed along with Robespierre on 2 8 th July 1794.

#8 Georges Danton

Georges Danton was a leader of the Cordeliers Club, one of the popular clubs of the French Revolution. Under his leadership, the club became a significant political force. He also made frequent speeches at the Jacobin Club. On 10th August 1792, an angry crowd marched on the Tuileries Palace where the king resided and killed the Swiss Guards who were assigned for his protection. The king, along with his family, had to flee to the Assembly. This event played a key role in overthrow of King Louis XVI and ultimately his execution. Danton has been credited by many historians as "the chief force in the overthrow of the French monarchy and the establishment of the First French Republic". His role in the August 10 event is not clear but he did take credit for it. Georges Danton then became the first president of the Committee of Public Safety. However, as the Reign of Terror began, he became more moderate and opposed it. This led to his death at the guillotine on April 5, 1794.

#9 Lazare Carnot

After the execution of King Louis XVI in January 1793, France's enemies wanted to destroy the Republic and reinstate a monarchy. Several European powers thus formed a coalition to defeat France and it seemed that the fall of the Republic was imminent. At this time Lazare Carnot, a mathematican and physicist, was promoted to the Committee of Public Safety. Displaying an exceptional talent for organization and for enforcing discipline, Carnot set about rearranging the disordered French Revolutionary Army. He also introduced compulsory enlistment to raise France's army from 645,000 troops in mid-1793 to 1,500,000 in September 1794. The French Revolutionary Army successfully expelled foreign forces from French soil and then overran many neighboring countries. Lazare Carnot is thus known as the Organizer of Victory in the French Revolutionary Wars. He also appointed Napoleon Bonaparte as general in chief of the Army of Italy when no one else backed him. In 1800, after the Revolution, Napoleon appointed Carnot as Minister of War.

#10 Napoleon Bonaparte

The French Revolution was widespread and violent by 1793. Some citizens had began supporting the Royalist faction and had taken up arms against the Revolutionary forces. France was at civil war and it was also engaged with other countries, who wanted to restore the monarchy. At such a time, Napoleon Bonaparte rose to prominence as a general of the Revolutionary government against the Royalist forces. After crushing an internal revolt by the royalist forces, he was given command of the Army of Italy. He then led several successful campaigns against the Coalition of European countries, virtually winning every battle. He became a national hero in France due to his exceptional military talent. He took advantage of this to organize the Coup of 18th Brumaire to overthrow the Directory and became First Consul of the Republic. This is considered the end of the French Revolution. Napoleon went on to become Emperor of the French in 1804 and he made France the leading European power for a while.
