About this title

Storyline

With the Revolution barely passed, the capital of the state Nuevo Leon began to emerge as the of an alternative power to that of Mexico City. Home to successful businessmen and profitable industries and businesses, the economic power and independence of its businessmen and workers stirred up strong conflicts with the federal government, which was not accustomed to yield in its pretensions. The socialist education program of President Cárdenas; Fidel Velázquez's inability to incorporate his workers into the CTM; the rejection of the program of free text books, and the final face-off with President Echeverría - which would end with the death of biggest businessman in the region, don Eugenio Garza Sada, are some of the chapters of this story.
