Revolución Mexicana

The Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) was a major social and political upheaval that overthrew the long-standing dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. It arose from widespread dissatisfaction with inequality, land concentration, and lack of political rights. Leading figures like Francisco I. Madero and Emiliano Zapata fought for democracy, land reforms, and social justice. The revolution resulted in a new constitution in 1917, which established rights for workers and peasants and limited foreign influence. It transformed Mexico into a republic with greater citizen participation, shaping the nation’s modern identity and addressing deep-rooted social issues.
