The most important iberoamericano figure of the century. He started with 72 poorly-armed campesinos of Morelos, and changed México.

Not a humble man, he once correctly mused that his influence would become stronger in death, as had that of Juárez, Lincoln, and Christ. John Steinbeck wrote that he did share qualities of Jeanne d'Arc and Christ.

¡Tierra y Libertad! Es mejor morir de pie que vivir una vida de rodillas.
[¡Land and Liberty! Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees]
