Mexico · Animated schematic fronts

Mexican Revolution

The revolt against Porfirio Díaz developed into war between revolutionary movements, the Huerta government and later rival factions. Land reform and political power were central; executions, displacement and food shortages affected civilians.

This war had no continuous front. The line is a schematic limit of advance and operations: it summarises campaigns and is not a trench line or an administrative border. The coloured areas are operational sides, not evidence of contiguous occupation; in-between frames are interpolated and closing edges are graphic. Only the advance of the Constitutionalist armies against the Huerta government (1913–1914) is shown as a line; before and after it shifting factions fought without a fixed front.
