Technically, Carranza won, and was still in power at the time of Zapata's death (by [[ambush]]) in 1919.  The latter event followed a three-year [[counterinsurgency]] led by General [[Pablo Gonzalez]] and [[Colonel]] [[Jesus Guajardo]], in Zapata's new stronghold and original home, Morelos.  They were initially as unsuccessful as Madero had been, but all other rivals to Carranza were now more or less exhausted by years of war.  Eventually, Guajardo pretended to be trying to defect to Zapata's side, enabling them to lure Zapata to a "meeting" where he was killed.  Perhaps because Guajardo had killed 57 of Gonzalez's men to make himself credible to Zapata, Guajardo's men were given only half the bounty promised by Carranza to whomever killed Zapata.
