| abstract | - Since rising to power in 1969, El Jefe began instituting a number of economic reforms that were designed to antagonize Confederate based businesses operating in Mexico, and especially Confederate based oil companies; however, as it was at the height of the Vietnam War and Oaxaca claimed to be a Nationalist and not a Communist, little attention was paid to El Jefe until the early 80s when Mexico began signing a series of pacts with the USSR and began receiving military aid. Deemed a threat to national security, in 1983 the Pickens administration began secretly planning ways to overthrow El Jefe which culminated in 1984 when the Confederate government sent 1500 CS- trained exiled guerrillas into Chihuahua. At the time it was believed that these men would be greeted as liberators and would largely be unchallenged by local authorities; however the entire operation proved to be a complete disaster and the guerrillas were quickly pushed back. The event served only to bolster El Jefe's reputation as a great leader and damage the Confederacy's reputation with many Mexicans.
