Mexican Revolution

The Mexican Revolution, also known as the Mexican Civil War, started in November 1910 and lasted until 1929. It was fueled by the public's desire for economic and social reforms, and targeted the corrupt Mexican dictator Porfirio Diaz, the wealthy, the Catholic Church and foreign capitalists. It is not to be confused with the Mexican War for Independence (from Spain) which happened 100 years earlier.

Asked by Wiki User

Pancho Villa was assassinated in 1923 in retaliation for his opposition to Mexican President Álvaro Obregón. Obregón saw Villa as a threat to his power and ordered his assassination. Villa's death was also seen as a way to eliminate a potential rival in Mexican politics.

What effect did Pancho Villa hope for in his action against Americans?

Asked by Wiki User

Pancho Villa hoped that his actions against Americans, particularly the raid on Columbus, New Mexico in 1916, would provoke a larger armed conflict between the United States and his rival, Mexican President Venustiano Carranza. Villa believed that this conflict would bring visibility to his cause and rally support for his revolutionary movement against Carranza. Additionally, he sought to demonstrate his power and force the United States to withdraw its support for Carranza's government.

Asked by Wiki User

One significant reform that occurred as a result of the Mexican Revolution was land redistribution. The revolution aimed to address the issue of land inequality, and as a result, the government implemented land reform policies to redistribute land from large landowners to peasants and small farmers. This reform sought to reduce social and economic disparities and promote greater equality in access to land and resources.

SOME EFFECTS:

Historians debate the exact end of the "revolutionary period". From a military standpoint, it ended with the death of the Constitutional Army's primer jefe (First Chief) Venustiano Carranza in 1920, and the ascension to power of General Álvaro Obregón. Coup attempts and sporadic uprisings continued, for instance in the Cristero Wars of 1926-1929. Effective implementation of the social provisions of the 1917 Constitution of Mexico and near cession of revolutionary activity did not occur until the administration of Lázaro Cárdenas (1934-1940). According to Robert McCaa, the total "demographic cost" during the Mexican Revolution 1910-1920 was approximately 2.1 million people.[4]

Zapatistas

Cárdenas also abolished capital punishment, better known in Mexico as fusilamiento,death by firing squad. Cárdenas and the PRM's ability to control the republic without summary executions showed the revolutionary period was at its end.

Another major step was in 1940, when Cardenas voluntarily relinquished all power to his successor Manuel Ávila Camacho, a legal transition that was unprecedented in Mexican history. In 1942, Ávila Camacho and all living ex-Presidents appeared on stage in the Mexico City Zócalo, in front of the Palacio Nacional, to encourage the Mexican people to support the Americans and British in World War II. This demonstration of political solidarity among diverse elements signaled the true end of the Revolution. Given its importance in national history, Mexican politicians and political parties refer frequently to the Revolution in their political rhetoric.

Which war-the war for Independence the Mexican war or the Mexican revolution do you think changed Mexico the most?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All three armed conflicts are equally important to the history of Mexico. Each one of them had different but defining characteristics that would change Mexico's economy, society or culture for centuries, until this very day:


The Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821) resulted in Mexico's secession from the Spanish Empire. This marked the beginning of Mexico as a sovereign country since 1821, and accelerated the decline of the Spanish Empire.


The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) resulted among other things, in the loss of half of Mexico's territory to the United States, and a long period of indebtedness and political turmoil that lasted until the 1860's.


The Mexican Revolution (1910-1921) was a result of an agrarian, labor, civil and political rights movement, which also inspired other revolutions such as the October (Russian) Revolution of 1917. It resulted in many social reforms that were considered revolutionary at the time, and many of whom have lasted until present times.

What was the main cause of the mexican revolution?

Asked by Wiki User

The Mexican revolt started because of the occupation of the American's in the land of the Mexican people. the Americans took away all the chili peppers, including the habanero, and forced the Mexican people to drink water instead of Tequilla, that started the revolt. Another reason that caused the revolt was the issue with Americans taking away the Mexican's sombreros, so in the process, all the Mexican men hade gone bald, because all the sombreros were confiscated.
