This is an interesting part of Madero's story, particularly in the context of your comments on his inability to enact reforms or bring former supporters into his government. If he wasn't much of a reformer, why did Henry Lane Wilson believe that he needed to be removed from office? And, what was Wilson's role in Madero's ouster?
