The video recounts the story of the Decena Trágica, a ten-day period in which a group of dissidents led by General Francisco I. Madero attempted to overthrow the government of Francisco I. Madero and General Victoriano Huerta. The successful uprising was led by students at the Military School for Civilian Apprentices. The rebels took control of the Zocalo (Mexico City's central square) and the surrounding buildings, including the Cathedral and the Army's highest-ranking officers. Madero and Huerta rode to the Palace to demand Huerta's resignation, and were then executed. Victoriano Huerta took over as president, and while he was in office, Madero and Pino Suárez were imprisoned at the Lechuguilla Prison. On February 20, 1914, Victoriano Huerta dissolved the Congress and began a dictatorship, which lasted until his death in 1920.
