Regarding Monument to the Mexican Revolution. This is a somewhat odd monument to the Mexican Revolution, as it includes a number of important figures that actively fought against one another during the Revolution. For example, Obregón fought against Villa at the Battle of Celaya. Zapata also fought against both Madero and Carranza's forces. Most monuments to the Revolution in Mexico only refer to the movement symbolically, or they tend to focus on just one important figure from the Revolution. It may be that this monument is actually a good representation of the confusing and muddled alliances that were ever present during the long Mexican Revolution.
