Álvaro Obregón rebelled against Carranza in Mexico's Revolution. While cruel, he enjoyed life's pleasures, strategically maneuvering for an unprecedented second presidency before his assassination.
An invincible general, Álvaro Obregón was a brilliant military man of tactics with a photographic memory. He was a man fond of eating and drinking, an able and pragmatic thinker and a cruel and implacable enemy. His rebellion against the Carranza government would be the last successful uprising of the Revolution. Like almost all of the great leaders of the time, he would die a violent death just as he was at the point of beginning an unheard-of second presidential term.—Clío TV
