Division of the North

The Division of the North was a military and political region in Mexico during the Mexican Revolution (1910s). It was led by General Venustiano Carranza and covered northern Mexico, including states like Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Sonora. The division was a strategic grouping of revolutionary forces fighting against the existing government and rival factions. It played a key role in the revolution’s dynamics, ultimately helping Carranza to become a major political figure and later president. The division symbolized a unified front of northern revolutionary leaders working together for political change.
