On this day, 29 January 1911 northern Mexico, the first battle of the Tijuana revolt occurred. A pre dawn raid by an international mix of Magonistas (supporters of the anarchist Liberal Party of Mexico - PLM) and Industrial Workers of the World union members seized the town of Mexicali, killing the jailer.
The revolt despite serious flaws would spread in the border areas and peaked with the capture of the town of Tijuana.
