The Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910, was driven by widespread dissatisfaction with the long-standing dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz, who promoted foreign investment and modernity while neglecting the poor. Social inequality, land concentration in the hands of a few, and exploitation of workers fueled discontent among peasants and the working class. Key figures like Francisco I. Madero, Emiliano Zapata, and Pancho Villa emerged, advocating for land reforms, democracy, and social justice. The conflict led to significant upheaval, resulting in the establishment of a constitutional republic, constitutional reforms, and an eventual shift in power that sought to address social injustices and land rights in Mexico.
