VIlla and Zapata.

Obragon and Carranza made it clear to Mexico City that the halcyon days were over by imposing tax, humiliating the churches, and by attacking all the business men who supported Huerta. Their number one concern was though Villa and Zapata forming a bond especially if allied by Felipe Angeles. Zapata wanted Carranza to accept the turns of Ayala, which he wouldn’t, so Zapata proposed they meet with conditions that if he decided no to show up he would disowning everything that has been said to Carranza. That means 70,000 men with Mausers would oppose any Carranza presidency. After some reconsideration Zapata finally showed up at dinner, but still Zapatistas would not negotiate about accepting the plan of Ayala, Zapata made some terms but Carranza rejected them on Sept 5. Then Obregon offered Villa a deal, he would abandon Carranza and make sure he did not become president if Villa in return would restore his position in Sonora. Villa and Obregon then traveled to Sonora to have a conference and eventually Obregon was made commander-and-chief in state, but the agreement only lasted 24 hours. Villa wanted Obregon to withdraw Hill, but Obregon refused, Villa then threatened to kill him, but Obregon made sure that he knew that if he did Obregon would become the a hero for the state. Soon after Carranza too messed up by wanting to unite with Zapata, and Villa announced he no longer recognized him as chief along he outlined step by step directions how to sabotage him. Villa was also planning on executing Obregon.

The Aguascalientes was originally a meeting for the military and four main groups showed up the villistas, a handful of Carranza men, independent and the Zapatistas. They were all tired of the war, and every one f the groups wanted something different. Villa could not recognize the convention until he accepted the terms of the Plan of Ayala. Zapata wanted to ally with Villa and on 26 of October a train carrying Zapatistas to Villas headquarters was their first move as an alliance. The Aguascalientes, the man himself started the meeting by tearing up the Mexican flag and ended by saying Viva Villa, Viva Zapata! His plan was to unite Villa and Zapata following up with Corranzas resignation.
