Juan Pablo Duarte
Juan Pablo Duarte( January 26, 1813 – July 15, 1876) was a Dominican writer, activist, poet, military leader and liberal politician who was one of the" founding fathers" of the Dominican Republic.
As one of the most celebrated figures in Dominican history, Duarte is considered a folk hero and revolutionary visionary in the modern Dominican Republic, who along with Francisco del Rosario Sánchez and Matías Ramón Mella, organized and promoted the movement, a secret society known as La Trinitaria, that eventually led to the Dominican revolt and independence from Haitian rule in 1844 and the start of a decennial Dominican War of Independence.
Duarte helped inspire and finance the Dominican War of Independence, paying a heavy toll which would eventually ruin him financially.
His liberal views made him a controversial figure among conservative and powerful Dominicans of the time, and he was exiled on numerous occasions after the founding of the new nation.
His liberal views went against the conservative elites who sought for heavy- handed control of the nation, and wanted to maintain the traditional regionalisms of the past.
Duarte had strong disagreements with the republic's first president, Pedro Santana, as Santana was a tyrannical figure.
Ultimately, Duarte would spend many years away from the nation he helped shape and would die in exile, which made him a political martyr in the eyes of subsequent generations.

José Reyes Vega
José Reyes Vega was a Mexican priest who participated in the Cristero War as a General.
He was one of the most popular Generals during the Cristero War and was known as" Father Vega".
In April 19, 1927, an event took place that almost succeeded in extinguishing the revolution.
Father Reyes Vega led a raid against a train in Cuernavaca, said to be carrying a shipment of money and gold.
In a shootout that followed with the army escort, Vega's younger brother was killed.
Maddened with grief, he had the wooden cars doused with gasoline and 51 civilian passengers were burned alive.
An atypical priest, Vega was known as a drinker and womanizer as well as well for his murderous behaviour.
( After one engagement, he had federal prisoners stabbed to death to save ammunition.)
This atrocity completely turned public opinion against the Cristeros.
He is also known for mounting an attack on Guadalajara on March 17.
Though it failed, the rebels won a smashing victory at the Battle of Tepatitlán against Saturnino Cedillo, led by General Pablo Rodriguez, in the heart of Los Altos, on April 19.
Unfortunately Father Vega, who designed the plan that won the victory, was killed in the engagement.
