Historical context

Pablo Gonzalez Garza (1879-1950) was one of the generals of Constitutionalism during the Mexican Revolution, an ally of Venustiano Carranza. He commanded important military campaigns and became a figure of weight in the revolutionary politics of his time.

This bronze medal of 1920, linked to a Revolutionary Union, commemorates him in a decisive year. In 1920, after the assassination of Carranza and the triumph of the Plan of Agua Prieta, power passed to the Sonoran generals, closing the most violent phase of the Revolution.

The piece belongs to the category of figures. It is testimony to the complex web of military strongmen who led the Mexican Revolution, many of whom rivaled one another in the struggle to define the country's course in the post-revolution.
