Wednesday, May 10, 1911. Madero takes Juarez in spite of himself.


Federal forces at Juarez surrendered to the forces of Pascual Orozco and Pancho Villa, who had attacked the city in defiance of Francisco Madero.

This was the first major loss of territory to Maderistas, although the attack on the city was in defiance of orders from Madero.  Tijuana had fallen the day prior to Magonistas.

Last edition:

Tuesday, May 9, 1911. Magonista rebels captured Tijuana.
