In the early 1990s, Mexico descended into a brutal narco war that would reshape its history. This podcast episode delves into the explosive rivalry between two of the country’s most powerful drug cartels: the Sinaloa cartel, led by Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, and the Tijuana cartel, known as the Arellano Félix cartel, led by Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo’s nephews.

Previously united under a tight alliance controlling Mexico’s drug trade, these organizations fractured after Félix Gallardo’s arrest, triggering a deadly struggle for dominance. The fallout was catastrophic, with the nation becoming a battleground strewn with corpses. This conflict not only marked Mexico’s first major narco war but also set a precedent for the violent conflicts that would follow.

Join us as we unravel the gripping story of how familial ties, power struggles, and shifting alliances unleashed a wave of violence that continues to shape Mexico’s landscape today.
