Calles-Carranza conflict

The Calles-Carranza conflict was a power struggle in Mexico during the early 1920s. Plutarco Elías Calles, a rising political leader, challenged the authority of former President Venustiano Carranza, who was seen as too independent and resistant to Calles’s plans. This rivalry led to violent clashes and political instability, as Calles sought to consolidate control and implement reforms. The conflict ultimately weakened Carranza’s influence and helped pave the way for new government structures and policies in Mexico, shaping the country's political landscape during its post-revolutionary period.
