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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The Mexican Revolution (1910-1921) would be the conflict that had the greatest impact in modern Mexico: its reasons and its outcome defined what Mexico is today, even 100 years after the war. This allowed Mexico to evolve from a feudal economy, driven by the exploitation of Natural Resources, to a more modern democracy - which, however, required another 30 years to take hold. The revolution also defined a pro-socialist government that has lasted to this day, with policies that include public education, workers' rights and, at the time, a better distribution of income.
