The Mexican Revolution

The Mexican Revolution was a period of political and social upheaval in Mexico that began in 1910 and lasted until 1920. The revolution was sparked by widespread dissatisfaction with the rule of President Porfirio Díaz, who had been in power for over 30 years. Díaz's government was seen as corrupt and oppressive, and his policies favored the wealthy elite at the expense of the poor. The revolution was led by a number of different factions, including liberals, socialists, and anarchists. The revolutionaries eventually succeeded in overthrowing Díaz and establishing a new government, but the revolution continued for several years as different factions fought for control of the country.
