What is Álvaro Obregón?
[[File:Álvaro Obregón.jpg|thumb]] '''Alvaro Obregón Salido''' (February 19, 1880 &ndash; July 17, 1928) was a [[Mexico|Mexican]] farmer, warlord and general. He was one of the key players in the [[Mexican Revolution]] (1910-1920) and it is his election as [[President of Mexico|President]] in 1920 that is considered by many as the ending point of the Revolution, although the violence continued afterwards. A brilliant and charismatic general, his rise to power is contributed to his effectiveness, ruthlessness, and the fact that he was the only one of the Revolution's “Big Four” still standing after 1923, as [[Pancho Villa]], [[Emiliano Zapata]] and [[Venustiano Carranza]] all were assassinated. {{bio-stub}} {{Presidents of Mexico}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Obregon, Alvaro}} [[Category:1880 births]] [[Category:1928 deaths]] [[Category:Mexican generals]] [[Category:Presidents of Mexico]] [[Category:Elected officials who died without taking their seats]]
