Who was the first president of the Mexican revolutionary era?

• A. Francisco Madero
• B. Porfirio Díaz
• C. Venustiano Carranza
• D. Emiliano Zapata

Answer: (A)

The breakthrough idea here is identifying who started the political leadership of the Mexican Revolution. Francisco I. Madero is the one who sparked the upheaval and, after Díaz’s fall, became president in 1911. That makes him the first leader to hold the office in the era shaped by revolutionary changes. Porfirio Díaz had ruled for decades before the uprising, so he isn’t part of the revolutionary era’s first presidency. Venustiano Carranza and Emiliano Zapata were crucial revolutionary figures, but Carranza didn’t become president until 1917, and Zapata never held the presidency.
