1911 Mexican Revolution

The 1911 Mexican Revolution was a major political upheaval that ended the long dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. It was driven by widespread dissatisfaction among peasants, workers, and middle-class citizens who sought democratic reforms, land redistribution, and better living conditions. Key figures like Francisco I. Madero challenged Díaz’s rule, leading to Díaz’s resignation and exile. The revolution sparked a series of conflicts, social changes, and new efforts to create a more democratic Mexico. It marked a pivotal point in Mexican history, transforming the country’s political landscape and laying the foundation for future reforms.
