In every generation, there is always those who strive to fight for the rights of others. Such people usually pay a hefty price for their bravery and approach to life. More often than not, those who sacrifice their lives for the better good of the society usually face the brunt of the opposing parties. History is rife with instances where brave men and women have faced rather unfortunate or even gruesome deaths. Still, in spite of the risk for early demise or severe suffering, people still are able to fight for what they believe.
Devoid of such people, the society would not have been characterized with the level of development that is present today.

It was during his years as a teacher that he became entangled in the politics of the region. It can be hypothesized that his years as a teacher had the impact of creating a potent reputation among the people.

During his time in the revolution, he was able to have a profound impact on its course. Together with his friend and mentee Emiliano Zapata, they were able to steer, to some degree, the course and subsequent success of the Mexican revolution. To this end, it is clear that the Otilio was a remarkable individual. It is the intent of this paper to expound on this character. Different aspects of his life will be given focus. First, his early life will be expounded upon. The subsequent section will then focus on the Mexican revolution and Montano’s role in the revolution. The third section will give a brief but focused analysis on the relationship between Emiliano Zapata and Montano. The fourth section will then give focus on his political career and then his military career. Focus on both of these themes has been deemed necessary because of the highly interconnected nature of both themes. The adopted understanding is such that devoid of one theme, the other theme could not have been as potent. As such, given this high degree of dependability, it is essential to give dual focus on these themes. Through his action and personality traits, Otilio Montano was able to have profound impact on the Mexican revolution.
