Huerta (1913-1914)

Huerta was not recognized as president of Mexico by the United States, though most other world powers supported him. He had difficulty obtaining support of the Mexican people, as well. At the head of the unrest was Venustiano Carranza, a rancher who had gained support from Orozco, Villa, Álvaro Obregón Zapata, and, secretly, from the United States. During this time Pancho Villa and Carranza became enemies, though they were both fighting to eliminate remove Huerta from power. After Carranza declared the Plan de Guadalupe, which rejected acceptance of Huerta as president, America led the opposition and impeded German goods arriving in Veracruz, a Mexican port. Huerta panicked and fled office.
