The book I'm reading is called the Underdogs by Mariano Azuela, this book is based on the Mexican Revolution. How a few men named Demetrio Macias, Luis cervantes, and Anastasio Montanes, and others. Rebel against the mexican goverment because they think their rules aren't fair. Here is a quote from the book which gave me a better understanding, hope it helps you :)
"General;we didn't go to war so some Carranza or Villa could end up being president of the republic; we're fighting for the sacred roghts of the people, which have been trampled by the vicious cacique. so since neither Villa or Carranza nor anyone else is going to come ask our permission to pay themselves for the services they've been lending to the country, neither should we need to ask anyone's permission"- Luis Cervantes.
