The Aftermath of the Battle of Zacatecas
The battle for Zacatecas was the greatest victory that any revolutionary army achieved in the campaign against Huerta. The way now seemed clear for Villa to march on Mexico City. The demoralized remnants of the federal army were no match for Villa's triumphant Division del Norte, whose morale had been enormously bolstered by their victory. Huerta now realized that he was defeated, and only a few weeks later, he would resign and flee from Mexico. Nevertheless, Villa would not be able to achieve his aim of being the first of the revolutionary leaders to reach Mexico City.
