Point of Divergence (Diaz World)

This is "reserve" article quoad my article "Carranza War". Since my previous timeline was ASB, i decided to build a timeline isn't ASB

Point of Divergence (POD)
I borrowed POD from the authors of timeline "Central World"- Francisco Madero, head of Mexican opposition to Porfirio Diaz, was killed while trying to escape from a Mexican prison in San Luis Potosi. However, U.S. intervention in Mexico wasn't followed. All revolt against the government of Porfirio Diaz, including Pancho Villa uprising in Chihuahua, were suppressed in 1910-1911

Civil war
Supporters of Villa fled to the United States and in 1912 began raids into Mexico from the U.S. territory, supported by the population of the northern Mexican states such as Chihuahua. At the same time, in the southern states of Mexico, with a predominantly peasant and Indians population, the beginning of a guerrilla war Liberation Army of South led by Emiliano Zapata

In 1913, the Zapata supporters have moved from guerrilla warfare to an open war, began march to Mexico City, and they managed to beat the Mexican army 11-19 September under Cuautla. At the same time, Villa once again crossed the border in Chihuahua and picked up where the revolt. In such a situation, the U.S. demanded that the regime of Diaz fair elections and negotiations with the opposition, but Vilia and Zapata refused to negotiate

Diaz asked Germany for help
The Mexican government, led by Diaz fled to Veracruz, and thence to Tampico. Zapata took Mexico City on May 30. At the same time, the rebellion flared up in northern Mexico, headed Vilia, where he led his army to join the forces of Zapata. Porfirio Diaz asked the German Empire for help by military advisers and weapons, and possibly troops

The German government agreed. In return, Diaz had to enter the most favored regime for Germany and its economic interests, giving the Germans control over some sectors of the Mexican economy, including oil production. Also, Germany and Mexico were to conclude (yet secret) military alliance

Revanche of Diaz

August 1 troops of Diaz defeated under Durango army of Vilia, going to join up with Zapata. Pancho Villa was killed. Once in August, the army of Diaz arrived German military mission, headed by Rüdiger von der Goltz, the uprising of Chihuahua was suppressed. Northern Mexico is back under government's control. The German ships began volume shipments of arms to Mexico

In addition, Germany and the government of Diaz managed to discredit their opponents (Liberation Army of the South) in the eyes of the U.S. and other great powers, using the fact that the program Emiliano Zapata was the extreme left and called for equal division of land among the peasants, and they have discontinued support of the Mexican opposition

Mexico under German control

But the resistance of Liberation Army of South continued. Although at the end of September 1913 Diaz captured Mexico City, soon the Zapatistas have tried to discourage him, began fighting for the town. The situation was unstable and Diaz has asked Germany to open military aid. Germany agreed, but demanded that Mexico joined the Central Powers and became a monarchy headed by one of the German princes

In November, the German fleet landed troops in Veracruz. Rüdiger von der Goltz was the commander of German forces in Mexico. In December, Mexico City fell. By January, southern Mexico was occupied by troops of Diaz and von der Goltz. Supporters of Zapata or fled to Guatemala, or returned to guerrilla warfare. February 3, 1914 Porfirio Diaz declared Mexico an empire (the emperor- Joachim Hohenzollern), and announced entry of Mexico into the Central Powers

German-Mexican-American conflict
Contemporaneously, has begun further transfer of German troops into Mexico. This aroused the indignation of the majority of the great powers, especially the U.S. took this as a violation of the Monroe Doctrine and almost aggressive. U.S. support for Mexico's opposition was renewed, in the United States was declared to mobilize. May 3, 1914 Prince Joachim Hohenzollern had been killed in Mexico City during his coronation as emperor of Mexico

Germany and Mexico, sent an ultimatum to the United States, demanding to stop supporting the opponents of Diaz. United States rejected the ultimatum. May 29 British cryptographers had intercepted telegram William II Diaz with a proposal for joint military operations against the United States in case of war. June 3 U.S. and the Entente declared war on German Empire and Mexico
