1910 Mexican Presidential Election
The spark of the Revolution1910 · The Porfiriato
Porfirio Díaz, a liberal general who had distinguished himself during the War of Reform and resistance to French intervention, seized control of the Mexican government from Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada in an 1876 coup d'état, in which Díaz and other Mexican military officials explicitly opposed presidential re-election.
An election in form only: under the Porfiriato the result was arranged in advance and no genuine opposition was permitted. Recorded here as history, not as a free election.
