Viva la Revolución: An Experimental Quest in Revolutionary Mexico

Reader mode
It is May of 1911, Mexico erupted into armed discontent.
Who do you support?

[X] The Porfiriato. The President has ruled since '84, why should we turn against him now? Viva el Porfirio, Viva la Republica!

Where is your support?

[X] la Centro - Heartland of Mexico's agriculture, the haciendas rule the roost and the peasanos do all the work for the privilege of living in a room. To feed or not to feed, that is the question, however this region is hard to swap, as the enfiefed ideals of colonial Mexico are still strong here. Last holdout of the Porfiriato.

Who shall intervene into the war?

[X] Guatemala - Chiapas is ours, now is our chance!

Shall these interveners continue to spend their valuable time and resources in Mexico?

[X] The United States YES - Our border is not enough, all of Mexico must be secured from those socialists and anarchists.

[X] The International YES - The International will never give up on their fellows!
 
[x] The Magnonistas. True freedom occurs solely in an anarchist state, the revolution must be brought further in Mexico!
[X] la Sur - From Oaxaca to Chiapas, this is a region of biodiversity, white sand beaches, and hot blooded politics. Separatist ideals haven't left the cultural memory, nor the discontent of it. The south is the den of the Zapatistas for now.
[x] Guatemala - Chiapas is ours, now is our chance!

[x] The United States YES - Our border is not enough, all of Mexico must be secured from those socialists and anarchists.
[x] The International YES - The International will never give up on their fellows!

The American Imperialists will never crush our freedom.

[X] el Norte - The deserts and mountains of the north hide hardy farmers, squalid forts, and banditos. From la Baja to Chihuahua and Sonora, these lands are the most difficult to take and difficult to lose. Land is often concentrated in the hands of titled aristocrats and their haciendas. Home of numerous factions.

Igualdad y libertad!

I adress this proclamation to all those who support one of the following groups:Magnonistas, Zapatistas, Villistas.
For all those three groups, it is far more advantageous to vote for no further American intervention in this war, so I ask all of you who support any of the above-mentioned factions and who voted for America to keep on being involved in the war, they should change the vote to have America not get itself anymor involved with Mexic. The Americans are supporting the Porfiriato, and the Porfiriato is the greatest enemy we currently face, and we must deprive him of any and all benefits!

We can not involve anymore sides in the war for Mexic or the people will suffer! I ask that all of you vote so that no one else aside from The United States and The International involve themselves in this war! We must also make sure that Guatemala does not get involve or The Third Republic of Yucatan will suffer gravely!
Chaos is bad for our glorious revolution of the people! What we must seek is order! We should only start spreading AFTER we have secured our powerbase in Mexico! I must ask all those who support Zapata to vote so that no more nations are involved in this war aside from The International and that we should try and vote so that America stops at the borders so we can remove the Porfiriato from the power much easier!

Do not worry, comrade, once the rising demands of the war machine break the spine of the imperialist nations, the people will rise worldwide.

    • May 1911
    "Ocupación?    "

    Red: El Porfiriato
    Pink: Las Zapatistas
    Green: Third Republic of the Yucatan
    Yellow: Magonistas
    Dark Blue: Orozquistas
    Green Lines: American Occupation
    ​
    May began with the collapse of the Villistas last lines in both southern Chihuahua and Sonora. In Sonora, peasano communes formed at the behest of the Magnon brothers, while in Chihuahua the American cavalry continued their long march through the state. While luckier than his predecessor in the state by escaping alive, caudillos Villa was a caudillo no more, running with little support or materials to stage a new uprising any time soon. Luckily for him, his successors in Sonora and Chihuahua eyed each other with open hostility, as the Magnonistas seemed to represent a large threat to the American way of life (in Mexico).

    With American attention distracted (initially) on their border with literal anarchists, the Zapatistas launched a wide scale offensive across their shared front of both the Porfiriato and the Orozquistas, with heavy support from international brigades. Here, the Porfiriato distinguished itself yet again in losing wide swaths of territory in multiple states, from Tamaulipas to Zacatecas to Sinaloa. States untouched in the seven months since the outbreak of war saw themselves in the battlegrounds between the mores of Presidentes Porfirio and Zapata. Surprisingly enough (or perhaps not) the Orozquistas maintained their composure and defended their isolated state with a ferocity that put off the Zapatista forces. Unluckily for the Orozs, the failures of the Porfiriato meant that their state was becoming all but a pocket for the Zapatistas closed.

    The United States, perhaps understandably, were thoroughly worried at this, and moved their troop concentrations away from the Magnonistas and further south in support of the fragile government. The Zapatista vanguard was thrown back by the powerful and professional armed forces of the American, and the increasingly (morally) important location of Soto la Marina, once again captured, was lost. The Porfiriato was saved at the behest of the American tax payer, much to the disgust of his foreign and domestic allies.

    Abroad, two factions became increasingly interested with the Mexican Civil War. To Mexico's south, Guatemala's parliament fought bitterly over an intervention to secure Chiapas from the 'illegitimate occupation of anarchists and peasants'. Presidente Estrada Cabrera however thought it best not to rock the boat, and secured himself another palace in the meantime. Similarly, hawks within the German Empire saw Mexico as a chance to secure international allies as well as prove the might of the German navy. Alas, Kaiser was too busy insulting various members of his cabinet to truly consider the issue, and it's proponents shelved the idea for now.

    • Mexico spins rapidly, who will win? You decide!

    It is June of 1911, Mexico erupted into armed discontent.
    Who do you support?

    [] The Porfiriato. The President has ruled since '84, why should we turn against him now? Viva el Porfirio, Viva la Republica!
    [] The Zapatistas. The rich have dominated Mexico for too long, let bring forth a truly peasant solution to us all!
    Igualdad y libertad!
    [] The Magnonistas. True freedom occurs solely in an anarchist state, the revolution must be brought further in Mexico!
    [] The Orozquistas. Mexico has gone mad! Someone needs to stop it and bring order to this land!

    However who you are isn't the only question brought before you. Where you are is equally important.

    Where is your support?

    [] el Norte -     The deserts and mountains of the north hide hardy farmers, squalid forts, and banditos. From la Baja to Chihuahua and Sonora, these lands are the most difficult to take and difficult to lose. Land is often concentrated in the hands of titled aristocrats and their haciendas. Home of numerous factions.
    [] la Centro - Heartland of Mexico's agriculture, the haciendas rule the roost and the peasanos do all the work for the privilege of living in a room. To feed or not to feed, that is the question, however this region is hard to swap, as the enfiefed ideals of colonial Mexico are still strong here. Last holdout of the Porfiriato.
    [] la Metrodad - The heart of Mexico, it is the city of Mexico and it's surrounding environs. Home of the rich, the poor, and the entitled, it is the most populated bastion of support, but at the wiles of whomever has the ears of the mover and shakers, both high and low. Home of the Orozquistas and controlled in part by the Zapatistas.
    [] la Sur - From Oaxaca to Chiapas, this is a region of biodiversity, white sand beaches, and hot blooded politics. Separatist ideals haven't left the cultural memory, nor the discontent of it. The south is the den of the Zapatistas for now.

    Who shall intervene into the war?

    [] Guatemala -     Chiapas is ours, now is our chance!
    [] Write In - Someone else is needed to intervene!
    [] No One - Mexican Wars for Mexicans!

    Shall these interveners continue to spend their valuable time and resources in Mexico?

    [] The United States YES -     Our border is not enough, all of Mexico must be secured from those socialists and anarchists.
    [] The United States NO - We have defeated the enemy at our gates, that is enough for now.

    [] The International YES - The International will never give up on their fellows!
    [] The International NO - The International has given up on their fellows!

    The Presidente is under threat due to his actions, what should be the result?

    [] Pro-American coup     - The Americans saved us from Zapata, now save us from Porfirio.
    [] Pro-Orozquista coup - The only Mexican that can save us is Presidente Orozco!
    [] Keep the course - The Presidente has led us these last seven months, surely he's not all bad.
    [] Write in - Yup.
