Mexican Civil War

The Mexican Civil War, which took place from 1910 to 1920, was a major conflict in Mexico that arose from a struggle against the long-standing dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. It involved various factions fighting for land reform, workers' rights, and political democracy. Key figures included revolutionary leaders like Francisco I. Madero, Pancho Villa, and Emiliano Zapata. The war resulted in significant social and political change, leading to the 1917 Constitution, which aimed to address issues such as land redistribution and labor rights, shaping modern Mexico's governance and society.
