En vista de los embargos ordenados por el gobierno estadounidense, tanto los rebeldes como los federales buscaron a Japón como probable proveedor. Gustavo Madero hizo los contactos iniciales con la compañía Mitsui Bussan para la compra de armamentos; tras el derrocamiento del presidente Francisco I. Madero, el general Huerta pretendió apropiarse de las armas. En el artículo se describen las entretelas de la lucha entre Huerta y los constitucionalistas por acceder a las armas de la Mitsui. Se narran las acciones diplomáticas, las diligencias empresariales y la contribución de los servicios de inteligencia.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: The question of how to secure supplies of weapons was a vital one for all the forces in conflict during the Mexican Revolution. Due to the embargoes ordered by the U.S. government, both the rebels and the federal army turned to Japan as a viable provider. Gustavo Madero made the initial contacts to purchase arms from the Mitsui Bussan Company, but when his presidential regime was overthrown, his successor, General Victoriano Huerta, sought to obtain those weapons. This article analyzes the behind-the-scenes struggle between Huerta and the Constitucionalistas to procure armaments from the Mitsui Company by examining the diplomatic actions taken, the vested business interests involved, and the contributions of the country&#8217;s intelligence services.]]></p></abstract>
