Huerta coup

The Huerta coup refers to the 1913 political upheaval in Mexico when General Victoriano Huerta forcefully overthrew President Francisco I. Madero. Huerta's military takeover was illegitimate and led to a violent struggle for power, triggering the Mexican Revolution. His regime was characterized by authoritarian rule, suppressing opposition, and internal conflict. The coup undermined democratic progress and prompted widespread unrest, eventually leading to Huerta's resignation in 1914 amidst growing resistance and international pressure.
