Venustiano Carranza

Venustiano Carranza (1859–1920) was a key figure in the Mexican Revolution, serving as President of Mexico from 1917 to 1920. He was a constitutionalist leader, advocating for reform, democracy, and a modern constitution. Carranza played a crucial role in fighting against authoritarian regimes and sought to establish a government that represented the people's needs. His presidency was marked by efforts to implement social and land reforms. Despite his initial support for the revolution, he faced opposition from other revolutionary factions, leading to conflict and ultimately his assassination in 1920. His legacy includes the 1917 Constitution, which remains significant in Mexican law.
