1910 Mexican Revolution

The Mexican Revolution began in 1910 as a response to decades of dictatorship under Porfirio Díaz, marked by social inequality and political repression. A diverse coalition of peasants, workers, and intellectuals sought land reform, democratic governance, and social justice. Key figures included Francisco I. Madero, Emiliano Zapata, and Pancho Villa. The revolution led to significant changes in Mexican society, including the redistribution of land and the establishment of a constitutional government. The conflict lasted for nearly a decade, profoundly transforming Mexico and ultimately leading to the 1917 Constitution, which aimed to address many of the revolution's original goals.
