Porfirio Diaz was a Mexican military officer who served as President of Mexico seven times. In total he held the presidency of Mexico for 30 years, an unprecedented extension. He occupied the presidency for the first time in an interim form after the triumph of the Revolution of Tuxtepec, between November 24, 1876 and December 6, 1876; and for the second time from February 17, 1877 to May 5, 1877. He resumed his duties on an interim basis from May 5, 1877 to November 30, 1880. Later, he held the presidency of the country uninterruptedly between 1884 and 1911.
