between the mid-19th century and early 20th century during the Porfirio Presidency. Acapulco was a focal point for gachupíns. Essentially, wealthy families and or Individuals predominantly from Spain. [2][4]

As a result of the influx of these substantial families moving into Acapulco, commerce and economics were strictly controlled by the upper-class families. In turn, the lower working-class locals of Acapulco went through alleged forms of exploitation and difficult working conditions.[1][2]

The tight control that the Spanish maintained in the city prevented the emergence of peasant revolts, contrary to what was happening in most of the state at the time. However, the working conditions and authoritarian control that they imposed on the lower classes were the breeding ground for left-wing ideas and ideology [2]

in 1911 in response to the strict control imposed by the foreign upper class. Juan R. Escudero founded and led the Association of Workers of Various Trades (Spanish: la Asociación de Trabajadores de Diversos Comercios), which brought together peasants and commoners from Acapulco and the state of Guerrero.[2] [3]
