Carranza and the Bihio

Carranza's position was still precarious. He had an organizational structure, and just enough people out there still buying his shtick as the first chief of the revolution to hold national power. But all over Mexico he was challenged by local rebellions under still stubborn leaders like Via and Zapata. And it is at this point that Carranza faces in fact a third major regional revolt that he would struggle to put down. This one was centered in the southeast, between Veracruz and the Yucatan Peninsula.
