Francisco I. Madero, the leader of the 1910 Mexican Revolution and President of Mexico from 1911 to 1913, was a deeply devoted believer in Spiritism. Far from being a casual interest, his spiritual convictions were central to his worldview and heavily influenced his decision to enter politics and challenge the long-standing dictator, Porfirio Díaz. Origins of His BeliefsDiscovery in France: Born into one of Mexico's wealthiest families, Madero was educated abroad. While studying business in Paris in the early 1890s, he discovered La Revue Spirite, a magazine founded by Allan Kardec, the father of Kardecist Spiritism.
