Which leader is best known for advocating land reforms during the Mexican Revolution?

Emiliano Zapata is best known for advocating land reforms during the Mexican Revolution. He championed the cause of agrarian reform, emphasizing the need to return land to the peasants and indigenous people who had been dispossessed of their lands during the Porfirio Díaz regime and earlier. His rallying cry, "Tierra y Libertad" (Land and Liberty), became synonymous with the movement for agrarian rights.

Zapata's approach was pivotal in mobilizing the rural population and establishing a key part of the revolution’s goals, specifically intended to dismantle the large estates and redistribute land to those who worked it. Unlike some other leaders of the revolution who may have had broader or different focuses, Zapata's singular commitment to land reform made him a symbol of agrarian rights and social justice in Mexico. This deep connection to land reform helped shape much of the revolutionary discourse that was significant during and after the conflict.
