Obregón's assassination

Álvaro Obregón, a prominent Mexican general and former president, was assassinated on July 17, 1928, during a campaign rally in Mexico City. The attack was carried out by a gunman, believed to be politically motivated, likely due to opposition to Obregón’s policies or influence. Despite his military and political prominence, the assassination reflected ongoing political instability and factional tensions in Mexico during that period. Obregón died from his wounds shortly after, marking a significant and tragic event in Mexican history.
