Madero administration

The Madero administration (1911-1913) was Mexico’s first democratic government after decades of dictatorship. Francisco I. Madero, a reform-minded leader, aimed to promote political freedom, land reform, and fair elections. His presidency faced challenges from military leaders and political rivals, leading to instability. Despite efforts to modernize and democratize Mexico, his leadership was short-lived; he was overthrown and assassinated during a turbulent period of revolutionary change. His time in office marked a critical transition from authoritarian rule toward efforts at democratic governance, though lasting reforms were delayed by ongoing violence and factional conflicts.
