Cardenismo

Cardenismo refers to the political and social ideology associated with Lázaro Cárdenas, president of Mexico from 1934 to 1940. It emphasized land reform, nationalization of key industries (especially oil), and social justice aimed at improving the lives of the rural and working-class populations. Cárdenas promoted agricultural cooperatives and sought to redistribute land to peasant communities, which transformed Mexico's economic landscape. His administration is often credited with strengthening nationalism and laying the groundwork for future social policies in Mexico, making Cardenismo a significant period in the country's modern history.
