Answer:

amassed a peasant following and seized the estates of the Mexican elite

Step-by-step explanation:

Possessing outstanding military capabilities, Zapata played a large role in the overthrow of the counter-revolutionary government of Victoriano Huerta. In December 1914 - July 1915 (with interruptions), the detachments of Zapata and F.Villa occupied the capital of Mexico. Under the pressure of the broad peasant movement, a number of items were introduced into the Mexican constitution of 1917 that reflected the interests of the peasantry.
