Revolution of 1910

The Revolution of 1910 in Mexico was a major armed struggle against the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz, who had been in power for over three decades. It began due to widespread discontent over social inequalities, political corruption, and economic control by a small elite. Key figures included Francisco I. Madero, who called for democratic reforms. The revolution sparked a series of conflicts that eventually led to significant political and social changes, including land reforms and greater rights for workers and peasants. This movement ultimately transformed Mexico's political landscape, laying the groundwork for the modern nation.
