@MattPonds One person’s hero can be another’s villain. There is a national desire or need for heroic mythical figures as a centripetal force regardless of historical accuracy (q.v. Weems’ bio of Washington). #Hist466

The idea of the continuing revolution is interesting. If it’s continuing because it’s not complete, isn’t that a indictment of generations of politicians who claim to be carrying it out? If it’s continuing otherwise, it seems destabilizing. #Hist466

#Hist466 I concur with this. I am 5 episodes in driving from El Paso to Phoenix today. This author is phenomenal

For those of you who may be traveling this summer, check out Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast, series 9. It contains 27 episodes, all free, which chronicle the Mexican Revolution. I just completed a 30 hour road trip and this was a godsend! #Hist466

Perhaps Valhalla should have been a Mexican afterlife... Carranza joins a long list of revolutionary leaders to die by violence. #hist466

Germany saw Mexico as strategically useful. They could spy on the US from there as well as develop their interests in Latin America. #Hist466

#Hist466 An interesting story on pg. 20 of Castro’s book is the mention of Marconi getting a shot in the arm for his invention by Mexico looking to get direction from him. This helped this legitimacy in his own country.

@SauceMj I would too. Foreign investors from the U.S. and Europe likely hoped that Díaz, or a successor handpicked by Díaz, would assume the presidency next. #Hist466

@MichelleBrazfi2 It’s ironic that Díaz’s disgust of Juarez running for re-election would lead to his own presidency where he, except once, always ran for re-election in direct contradiction to that. #Hist466

Francisco Madero's brother ordered General Huerta's arrest and brought him before Madero with a document that showed Huerta was on a list of conspirators. Madero would release Huerta and scold his brother only to be overthrown by Huerta the next day. Listen to your peeps #Hist466
