Jacobo Harootian was a Mexican general who participated in the Mexican Revolution.

Early life

He was probably born in Aleppo, Syria to an Armenian family and spent most of his life in Zumpango del Río, Guerrero. Despite his wealth, he was a known benefactor who built roads that connected his own town with other local villages.

Military career

In 1913, he enrolled as a physician and then as a soldier for Victoriano Huerta's army. As a close friend of Juan Andrew Almazán, Harootian was chosen to command a legion of 2,000 soldiers who fought in the Battle of Zacatecas against Pancho Villa's forces on June 23, 1914.

Late life and exile

Shortly after the fall of Victoriano Huerta's de facto government, Harootian was persecuted by the new authorities and chose to leave the country.

Legacy

Once the Mexican Revolution came to an end, the socialist government deprived him and his family of their properties. His former house is now the Town Hall of his homeplace, Zumpango del Río.

gollark: This is false, as Rust is perfect in every way, actually.

gollark: What?

gollark: That isn't exactly true, though. You can prove stuff based on axioms in maths, and "prove" stuff by at least showing it isn't very likely to not be the case through empirical testing and statistics.
