In the 1910 Mexico presidential election, a writer and reformer named Francisco Madero challenged Porfirio Diaz for the office (1). When Diaz saw that Madero might win the election, he had the reformer arrested on false charges and declared himself the winner (2). Madero called for an armed uprising and his call was taken up by several local leaders: Hernán Cortés, Francisco Pizarro, and Hernando de Soto (3). The Mexican Revolution lasted nearly a decade, and although it began as an armed uprising against Diaz, it became a civil war rather than a revolt (4).

1, 2 and 4 are accurate while 3 needs revision
