[edit] Addition to Aerial warfare

Hello Edsonland. I noticed your addition to Aerial warfare. Could you provide a reference for this information?--Mumia-w-18 (talk) 07:23, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

BTW, I'm watching your talk page, so we can talk here.--Mumia-w-18 (talk) 07:25, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cristero War

Sure. Try p. 484 of Patrick Maher's Mexico Handbook: "The 1917 Constitution contained many provisions to curtail the political and economic power of the Catholic Church and the governments of the 1920s were decidedly anti-clerical in their efforts to implement it. ... Catholic resistance turned to civil war (1926-29)..." Biruitorul (talk) 14:46, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree the connection between the Revolution and the Cristero War is not a direct, straightforward one, and that's what sources say - that the latter was merely rooted in the former. But that's the point the article is making. It's not trying to draw direct lines between the two, but to say that violence continued into the late 1920s. Instead of using the rather generic term "conflict and political unrest", it's perfectly reasonable to specify, for the reader's benefit, one of the main manifestations of that violence (the Cristero War). A close or even casual reading of the sentence does not imply that it was caused by the Revolution. Biruitorul (talk) 06:05, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
