On June 18, 1917, Camacho killed Emiliano's brother, Eufemio Zapata, who had beaten up Camacho's father, at the time Eufemio's second in command, supposedly for drunkennessFrank Mclynn, "Villa and Zapata", Carroll & Graf Publishers, 2002, pg. 353/ref> (according to some sources, it was Eufemio who was drunk, not Sidronio's father Samuel Brunk, "Emiliano Zapata: revolution & betrayal in Mexico", UNM Press, 1995, pg. 207/ref>), at Cuautla, Morelos, Cuautla, Mexico. Sidronio avenged his father by shooting Eufemio in the abdomen. He then threw his still-living victim on an anthill. This event earned him the nickname "''el loco Sidronio''" ("the crazy Sidronio"). Knowing Emiliano would want to avenge his brother, Sidronio sought out sanctuary with Zapata's enemies, the Carrancistas (followers of Venustiano Carranza), who granted him an amnesty.Peter E ...

Emiliano Zapata
Emiliano Zapata Salazar (; August 8, 1879 – April 10, 1919) was a Mexican revolutionary. He was a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution of 1910–1920, the main leader of the people's revolution in the Mexican state of Morelos, and the inspiration of the agrarian movement called ''Zapatismo''. Zapata was born in the rural village of Anenecuilco in Morelos, in an era when peasant communities came under increasing repression from the small-landowning class who monopolized land and water resources for sugarcane production with the support of dictator Porfirio Díaz (President from 1877 to 1880 and 1884 to 1911). Zapata early on participated in political movements against Díaz and the landowning '' hacendados'', and when the Revolution broke out in 1910 he became a leader of the peasant revolt in Morelos. Cooperating with a number of other peasant leaders, he formed the Liberation Army of the South, of which he soon became the undisputed leader. Zapata's forces contributed to ...

Eufemio Zapata
Eufemio Zapata Salazar (1873, Ciudad Ayala - June 18, 1917, Cuautla, Morelos) was a participant in the Mexican Revolution and the brother of Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata. He was known as a womanizer, a macho man, and a very heavy drinker. Eufemio Zapata was assassinated by General Sidronio Camacho on June 18, 1917 in Cuautla. This happened after, allegedly, Camacho argued that Eufemio had beaten his father - which would be illogical since Don Gabriel died around 1895. Historian Édgar Castro Zapata has made some statements about the death of General Eufemio to remove the legend that overshadows the murder and makes him look like an angry and alcoholic man who beat elderly merchants for pleasure. In this way, Castro Zapata affirms that a fact that marked the death of Eufemio Zapata was the knowledge of a telegram in which Colonel Sidronio Camacho and General Napoleón Caballero were invited to join the Carrarcista ranks and betray the Zapatista movement. "Eufemio intercept ...

Venustiano Carranza
José Venustiano Carranza de la Garza (; 29 December 1859 – 21 May 1920) was a Mexican wealthy land owner and politician who was Governor of Coahuila when the constitutionally elected president Francisco I. Madero was overthrown in a February 1913 right-wing military coup. Known as the ''Primer Jefe'' or "First Chief" of the Constitutionalist faction in the Mexican Revolution, Carranza was a shrewd civilian politician. He supported Madero's challenge to the Díaz regime in the 1910 elections, but became a critic of Madero once Díaz was overthrown in May 1911. Madero did appoint him the governor of Coahuila. When Madero was murdered during the February 1913 counter-revolutionary coup, Carranza drew up the Plan of Guadalupe, a purely political plan to oust Madero's usurper, General Victoriano Huerta. As a sitting governor when Madero was overthrown, Carranza held legitimate power and he became the leader of the northern coalition opposed to Huerta. The Constitutionalist facti ...
