Provisional Cabinet

The picture shows the provisional cabinet which Francisco I. Madero set up after the victory of the revolutionaries in the Battle of Juarez in May 1911 and the resign of Porfirio Diaz as Mexican President. Amongst the members were his brother Gustavo A. Madero as minister of finance, and Venustiano Carranza as minister of war (later Mexican President). Francisco I. Madero made Francisco León de la Barra, one of Díaz's supporters, interim president, until he became duly-elected president in November 1911. The captured city of Juarez became provisional capital.
