El cabildo catedral de Valladolid de Michoacán

Nunca ha sido tan necesario extender los horizontes del quehacer historiografico a la entidad de dimensiones planetarias a la que estuvieron adscritos los virreinatos ibericos de America. Es decir, a la "Monarquia espanola" o "catolica," terminos con que se designo en su momento al imperio espanol. La tarea es tan necesaria como inmensa y ambiciosa.

Authors study four different regional revolts between 1923-24, all with different leaders and provoked by different causes: Rómulo Figueroa in Guerrero, Enrique Estrada in Jalisco, Guadalupe Sánchez in Veracruz, and Fortunato Maycotte in Oaxaca. Rebels failed because of a lack of central control or unifying program. Adolfo de la Huerta played only a 'decorative role' in the armed movement against Obregón"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
