I was twenty years old when he supported the Board of Cuautla in their demands for the suburbs of Morelos, his home state. The persecution unleashed against the Board by the Diaz regime led to Cuernavaca and then Mexico and groom in the army. Back in Morelos, Emiliano Zapata took up the defense of communal lands and, in 1909, was appointed head of the Junta de Ayala. Leading a small armed group, occupied the lands of the Hospital and distributed among the peasants. Emiliano Zapata While the governor of Morelos, representing the interests of landowners, sent forces against him, de la O rebelled in Cuernavaca. During the next two years, other farmers took up arms, including Tepepa, Merino and Torres Burgos Madero, who was allied with Zapata.In March 1911 joined the Plan de San Luis Potosi Madero proclaimed, and the death of Torres Burgos, was appointed "supreme commander of the revolutionary movement of the South". After the fall of dictator Porfirio Díaz, soon appeared the discrepancies between Zapata, who demanded the immediate distribution of hacienda lands among the peasants, and Madero, which in turn demanded the disarming of the guerrillas. Finally, licensing and Zapata agreed to disarm his troops, hoping that the election of Madero as president opened the door to reform. Elected him in 1911, and at the failure of new talks, Zapata prepared in November of that year the plan of Ayala, which declared Madero incapable of meeting the objectives of the revolution and announced the expropriation of one third of the land landowners in exchange for compensation, if accepted, and by force otherwise. Those who adhered to the plan, elected leader of the revolution to Pascual Orozco, raised the banner of land reform as a priority and called for the resignation of the president.Government forces forced to retreat to Guerrero Zapata, but the murder of Madero in February 1913 by order of Huerta changed the situation. Zapata rejected Huerta's offer to join forces and supported the Constitutionalists Carranza against Huerta. Appointed chief of the revolution to the detriment of Orozco, who had been declared a traitor, he managed to defeat Huerta (1913). In the Convention of Aguascalientes in October 1914 the alliance took shape Zapata and Pancho Villa, representatives of agricultural revolutionism against Carranza, a moderate. While shortly after they entered the capital, his inability to dominate the political apparatus of the state and the differences that emerged between the two leaders, although Villa had accepted the plan of Ayala, encouraged Carranza reaction. Persecuted by Pablo Gonzalez, Zapata in Morelos was strong, while Villa was defeated in the north. The contribution of intellectuals like Diaz Soto y Gama and Perez Taylor gave ideological strength agrarian movement and that allowed the Zapatistas organize the space administratively controlled.In this regard, the government created agrarian commissions Zapata, established the first agricultural credit institution in Mexico and tried to convert the sugar industry of Morelos in a cooperative. William Gates, the U.S. envoy, said the order of the Zapata-controlled zone in front of the chaos of the area occupied by the Carranza. However, the war continued and in 1917, Carranza's troops again defeated Villa in the north. Zapata at the threat posed to the federal government, Colonel Jesus Guajardo, who directed the government operations against him, betrayed and murdered after luring agrarian leader to a secret meeting at the ranch of Chinameca, in Morelos.
