Lázaro Cárdenas, born in 1895 in Jiquilpan, Michoacán, rose from humble beginnings to become a key figure in Mexican politics. After joining the revolution against Victoriano Huerta, he formed a close bond with Plutarco Elías Calles. Cárdenas became governor of Michoacán, where he implemented significant agrarian reforms. As president, he continued these reforms, expropriated foreign oil companies, and supported the Spanish Republic. His presidency marked a shift from the Maximato, and he left a lasting legacy in Mexican politics and international relations. Cárdenas remained influential until his death in 1970.
