This is a timeline I'm working on with a POD in the mid 1910s. Up until 1916, everything is true history. Sorry about that, but its neccessary so you guys have a background of the situation. Hopefully I'll actually finish this one.
1910
20 April 1910 - Hailey's comet is seen. Many Mexicans believe it is a sign of war, pestilence, and death to come. It proves to be an accurate description of the new decade.

11 October 1910 - Madero escapes to Texas and urges rebellion against Diaz.
