1920s Mexico

In the 1920s, Mexico was undergoing significant changes after the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), which aimed to address social inequalities and land reforms. The government, led by President Álvaro Obregón, focused on rebuilding the nation and promoting nationalism. This era saw the rise of muralism, with artists like Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco highlighting social issues through art. Economic development efforts included land redistribution and industrialization. However, political tensions and violence from ongoing struggles persisted, creating a complex and transformative decade in Mexico's history as it sought to establish a modern identity and stable governance.
