Ignacio Bonillas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ignacio Bonillas was a Mexican diplomat. He was a Mexican ambassador to the United States.

Venustiano Carranza wanted a civilian instead of a military official to be elected as president of Mexico. Carranza supported the candidacy of Bonillas in the election of 1920, even though he was not very well-known in Mexico. Álvaro Obregón - a general who was popular - opposed this, and launched the Plan of Agua Prieta.
