Mexican Revolution

The Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) was a major social and political upheaval in Mexico that aimed to overthrow the long-standing dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. It began as a rebellion against the concentration of land and wealth among elites and sought to address issues like land reform, workers' rights, and political democracy. Key figures included leaders like Francisco I. Madero, Emiliano Zapata, and Pancho Villa. The revolution resulted in significant changes, including the 1917 Constitution that established land reforms and social rights, shaping modern Mexico’s political landscape and addressing deep-seated inequalities.
