obregon government

Álvaro Obregón Salido was born on February 19, 1880 in psyche, Sonora. Son of the marriage formed by don alamense Francisco Obregón Gamez and Doña Cenobia Salido Palomares. That year was his father, so his mother was absent from family home entrusting the child's upbringing Alvaro to his older daughters: Cenobia, María and pink. He then joined local school, of which his brother José was the director. There he learned the first letters and studied mathematics, history and geography. Soon ventured into poetry, woodworking, music and commerce.

Later, towards the end of 1898, Obregón decided to revive the former prosperity of his property and began work for the farmer, but the economic situation aggravated by the crisis, their rudimentary tools, climate and its little capital diminished lands and forced him to return to Huatabampo in 1906. However, in their unsuccessful attempts to become a farmer, he managed to achieve savings which enabled him to buy the "Quinta Chilla". That same year, she met Refugio Urrea with whom he had two sons, Humberto and María del Refugio, moreover, had two sons that died along with his wife in 1907 during the delivery. Again, as did his mother with him, Alvaro instructed her older sisters, who raised them.

The situation that the country was going through was political instability. Porfirio Díaz, who had been more than 30 years in power, saw that his Government began to collapse due to the multiple manifestations of rejection, as the workers of Cananea and Río Blanco. Francisco. I. Madero, political coahuilense, began an election campaign aimed at defeating Díaz in the 1910 elections. However, shortly before election day, Madero was apprehended in Monterrey and on 10 July, Diaz was his seventh re-election. Madero escaped from prison and fled to the United States, where on October 5, published the Plan of San Luis Potosí, calling the armed revolution on November 20 to Díaz from power. That day, as it was stipulated in the plan, broke out the revolt that eventually do give up Diaz on May 25, 1911. Obregon, before the civil war in the country, decided to maintain a situation of indifference while he felt sympathy towards the Government of Porfirio Díaz.
