About their life

Pascual Orozco Vázquez Jr. was a Mexican revolutionary leader and general during the early years of the Mexican Revolution. Orozco rose up to support Francisco I. Madero's uprising in late 1910 to depose long-time president and dictator Porfirio Díaz, who had been the nation's de facto ruler since 1876. Orozco, a natural military leader, achieved victory over the Federal Army at the Battle of Ciudad Juárez; the battle was a key factor in forcing Díaz to resign in May 1911.
