Carranza, Venustiano

Venustiano Carranza was a Mexican revolutionary leader and politician who played a key role in overthrowing dictator Victoriano Huerta in 1914. He served as a chief negotiator and later became the President of Mexico, focusing on restoring order, implementing progressive reforms, and drafting the 1917 Constitution, which remains a foundational legal document today. Carranza prioritized national stability and land reforms, but his leadership was also marked by political conflicts and opposition. His efforts significantly influenced Mexico’s political development during the tumultuous Mexican Revolution period.
