Revolution in Mexico

The Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) was a major upheaval that sought to address widespread social inequality, land distribution, and political corruption. It began when peasants, workers, and middle-class citizens overthrew longtime dictator Porfirio Diaz, aiming for democracy and justice. Key leaders like Francisco Madero, Emiliano Zapata, and Pancho Villa emerged, advocating for land reforms and social reforms. The revolution resulted in significant political and social changes, including the 1917 Constitution, which laid foundations for land redistribution and workers’ rights. It transformed Mexico into a more inclusive and participatory nation, ending decades of authoritarian rule.
