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.

Wealth became concentrated in the hands of foreign investors and a small Mexican elite. Most Mexicans lived in poverty, and oppositon to Diaz grew steadily. In 1910 Porfirio Diaz ran for re-election. As in earlier elections, Diaz controlled the outcome. Just before the election began, he jailed his opponent Francisco Madero. When the ballots were counted, Diaz claimed to had earned a million votes and Madero had earnedfewer than 200.

Mexico has seen numerous revolts over its long and sometimes sad history. The "Cry of Dolores or Grito de Dolores" was an 1810 popular revolt of the Mexican people against Spain that became the Mexican War of Independence, It was based on the social caste system instituted by Spain between the Spanish born and the Mexican born and on the percentage of bloodline an individual had that was Native American. The Spanish born were at the top of the heap and the Native Americans were at the bottom. At the helm of this revolt was the Catholic Priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla.

What were the similarities and differences of the Mexican revolution and Chinese revolution?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Russian Revolution was to get rid of tsar Nicholas II and establish a democratic Provisional government, which would focus on economic and social reform. Provisional government failed and Lenin & the Bolsheviks took control establishing a communist state. He developed the NEP or new economic policy and then after him came Stalin who created the Five Year Plan and established the system of rapid industrialization and agricultural collectivization-resulted in millions of deaths.

Mexican revolution was the lower class led by certain church members fighting of land redistribution and to get rid of the monopoly the elite had on the lives of the peasant class.

Chinese revolution defeated the Manchu (Qing dynasty) and established the Kuomintang which was led by Sun-yat Sen, who goal was to create a democratic society and reform Chinese economy. He was forced out of the power and the communists defeated the government establishing a communist regime led by Mao Zedong. He established many reforms for industrialization and collectivization based on the examples of the Soviet Union. Communist China was reformed and still exists, thanks to Deng Xiangon's reform policies after Mao. the soviet union collapsed and communism was removed from that area.
