How and when he died
The war by the government took ruthless profiles in the north.
The gonzalista Jesus Guajardo led to believe that Zapata was
unhappy with Carranza and would be willing to join him. Zapata
asked Guajardo tests and gave them to shoot about 50 federal
soldiers, with consent of Carranza and Pablo Gonzlez, and offer
Zapata weapons and ammunition to continue the fight. So they agreed
to meet at the Hacienda de Chinameca, Morelos, on April 10, 1919.
Zapata camped with his forces outside the hacienda, and came to the
same accompanied only by his escort of 100 men. When crossing the
threshold, an orderly stationed at the entrance, he played with his
clarion call to honors. This was the signal for the shooters,
hidden on rooftops, opened fire Zapata, who managed to draw his
gun, but the shot was toppled. Not a few condemned the procedure.
In addition, this resulted in that, once dead, Zapata became the
apostle of the revolution and symbol of the dispossessed peasants.
The movement continued, although with less intensity, and the
Zapatistas agreed to appoint Gildardo Magaa chief of the Liberation
Army of the South. He would be the last, since almost a year later,
the old fellow aguaprietista government Zapata to be integrated,
although some of them would be killed by the government.
