Emiliano Zapata vs Maba Diakhou Ba

Zapata issued the Plan of Ayala, denouncing Francisco I. Madero for failing to implement land reform. The plan called for the return of land to peasants and became the ideological foundation of the Zapatista movement.

Zapata's forces, allied with Villa's Division of the North, occupied Mexico City. They held the capital for several weeks but failed to establish lasting control, highlighting the limits of their coalition.

Zapata attended the Convention of Aguascalientes, where revolutionary factions attempted to unify. He allied with Pancho Villa against Venustiano Carranza, but the convention failed to produce a stable government.

Zapata was lured to the Hacienda de Chinameca by Colonel Jesus Guajardo, who pretended to defect. Guajardo's troops ambushed and killed Zapata, ending his leadership of the agrarian rebellion.

Maba Diakhou Ba launched a religious war (jihad) against non-Muslim rulers in the Senegambia region. He aimed to establish an Islamic state and convert the population, leading to widespread conflict and the creation of a short-lived theocratic state.

Maba Diakhou Ba's forces were defeated by a coalition of French colonial troops and local allies at Nioro. This battle marked a turning point in his campaign, weakening his military power and limiting his territorial control.

Maba Diakhou Ba was killed in battle against French colonial forces at the Battle of Somb. His death ended the jihadist movement in Senegambia and led to the collapse of the Islamic state he had established.
