EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of General Álvaro Obregón, a man who defied the odds to rise from humble beginnings as a chickpea farmer in Sonora, Mexico, to become one of the most influential military and political leaders in Mexican history. Before joining the army in 1912, Obregón had already built a successful farming business. However, the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution in 1910 disrupted his peaceful life, and he soon found himself leading Carrancista forces against those loyal to Victoriano Huerta, Porfirio Díaz, and most notably, Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa. In 1915, during the Battle of Celaya, General Obregón suffered a life-altering injury when he lost his right arm. Despite this setback, he continued to lead his troops with unwavering determination and strategic prowess. His military successes eventually earned him the presidency of Mexico in 1920, marking the first stable government since the revolution's inception. Obregón's presidency brought about significant reforms, including the restoration of order, the promotion of economic development, and the establishment of the Mexican Petroleum Monopoly. However, his tenure was not without controversy. In 1928, he was assassinated shortly after winning re-election to another presidential term, leaving a lasting impact on Mexican politics and society. This photograph, taken circa 1920, captures the essence of a man who defied the odds and left an indelible mark on Mexican history. Obregón's story is one of resilience, determination, and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity.
