In July of 1923 Pancho Villa was gunned down, possibly because he intended to re-enter Mexican politics.
In September of the same year Secretary of Finance and Public Credit Adolfo de la Huerta lead an armed revolt against Mexican President Álvaro Obregón.
Now, Adolfo de la Huerta had been the man who arranged amnesty for Villa, so there's a fair bit of positive contact there. Obregón had been Villa's arch nemesis during the later stages of the Mexican Revolution, and were Villa to make a play for the presidency in 1924 he would be going up against Calles, whom was Obregón's choice candidate (Obregón himself had hit the term limit), so there's some bad blood there.
So would a surviving Pancho Villa associate himself with the revolt or would he stay on his hacienda?
