THE DECLINE OF THE CONVENTION

After the failure of the meetings in Aguascalientes, the Convention army and Carranza were ready to resolve the fate of the Revolution militarily.The invasion of Tampico and the port of Veracruz by the American army in the midst of the Huertista government was the beginning of American intervention in our affairs. The surrender of the port of Veracruz to Carranza, with the enormous arsenal seized from Huerta, was given to Carranza.In the battles of Jalisco, those of El Bajio, Leon and Aguascalientes, the supply of arms and ammunition from the United States to Carranza is an incontrovertible fact, while the borders were closed to Villa to supply himself with the elements of war.The Battles of Sonora (Aguaprieta, Nogales and Naco) even had U.S. divisions show up to fight Villa.What is remarkable about the Convention is the Program of political and social reforms as a conclusion of its work, where the disappearance of the Senate and the establishment of a Parliamentary government were the most notable.
