Mexico had been ruled by dictator Porfirio Diaz since 1876, who was an ally with foreign American investors. Favoritism was shown to these great landowners, and the Mexican people were falling into poverty. By 1910, Americans controlled 75% of the nation's mines, rubber, and 60% of the oil. Francisco Madero implement a successful armed revolt against Diaz in November 1910, after Diaz had gone back on his word to not seek re-election.

How did DíAZ and madero differ?

Diaz had been the incumbent president of Mexico for more than 35 years (1876-1911). During the 1910 elections, Francisco Madero became the main opposition candidate; fearing that Madero had a chance to win such elections, Diaz imprisoned him, thus sparking what would be the first phase of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1921). After some humiliating loses against the revolutionaries, Diaz left Mexico in 1915. Madero was appointed as president of Mexico but due to lack of political savviness, he generated a lot of discontent among his supporters. With the help of American Ambassador in Mexico, he was finally assassinated by General Victoriano Huerta (1845-1916) along with his vice-president in 1913, sparking the second phase of the revolution.
