Post-Revolutionary Mexico

Post-Revolutionary Mexico (after 1920) was a period focused on rebuilding a more equitable society following the Mexican Revolution. The government aimed to stabilize the country, promote land reforms, and improve education. Land redistribution efforts reduced the power of wealthy landowners, and institutions like the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) emerged to maintain political stability. Economic development was prioritized, with a focus on modernizing agriculture and industry. While promising reforms created hopes for social progress, ongoing struggles with inequality and political challenges continued. Overall, this era set the foundation for Mexico's modern nation-state, balancing reform with political consolidation.
