Craft paper border

Felix Diaz was never involved in the important things because his family didn't let him. Porfirio Diaz did this to protect him from all the bad things.Felix Diaz was always in the lower positions.

Felix had no military talent and no charm. The only reason he was able to stand against his enemies was because of his family. His name and his looks attracted people to look up to him like he was the boss.

He graduated as an&nbsp;engineer&nbsp;from the Colegio Militar in 1888, and rose to the rank of general. He wanted to move up to a more powerful position but his uncle said no and sent him away to Chile as a Mexican Consul. In October 1912, he rose in an unsuccessful revolt against Madero. Felix was a guy that always wanted more power but couldn't have it so he was greedy, but he was a general and leader.
