Akechi Mitsuhide vs Alvaro Obregon

Akechi Mitsuhide became a key general under Oda Nobunaga, serving in campaigns against the Azai, Asakura, and Takeda clans. He was entrusted with important commands and governed the Tamba region.

Akechi Mitsuhide was defeated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi at the Battle of Yamazaki, just 13 days after Nobunaga's death. Mitsuhide was killed while fleeing the battlefield, ending his brief rule.

Akechi Mitsuhide turned on his lord Oda Nobunaga, attacking him at Honno-ji Temple in Kyoto. Nobunaga was killed, and Mitsuhide seized control of Kyoto, becoming the de facto ruler for 13 days.

Obregón commanded Constitutionalist forces in a decisive victory over Pancho Villa's Division of the North at Celaya. Using modern trench warfare tactics, he defeated Villa's cavalry, solidifying his reputation as a military strategist and weakening Villa's power.

Obregón was elected President of Mexico in 1920, serving until 1924. His administration focused on reconstruction after the revolution, implementing land reform, supporting labor unions, and promoting education and cultural nationalism.

Obregón signed the Bucareli Treaty with the United States in 1923, agreeing to compensate American citizens for property losses during the revolution. This agreement secured U.S. diplomatic recognition for his government, stabilizing Mexico's international relations.

Obregón was re-elected president in 1928 after a constitutional amendment allowed non-consecutive terms. However, he was assassinated on July 17, 1928, by a Catholic radical before taking office, plunging Mexico into a political crisis.
