Zapatistas (original) (raw)

Zapatistas can refer to two different political movements in Mexico:

• During the Mexican Revolution, the Zapatistas were a fighting force based in Morelos, led by Emiliano Zapata.
• In the 1990s, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) publicly emerged in Chiapas to challenge the Mexican government. The EZLN chose the name "Zapatista" to tie themselves ideologically with the memory of the original Zapatistas.
