History

Historical Context

The Mexican Revolution began on November 20, 1910, when Francisco I. Madero called for armed resistance against dictator Porfirio Díaz, who had ruled for 35 years. The revolution led to significant political changes, including the 1917 Constitution, which introduced labor reforms and nationalized resources. Today, historical tensions and U.S. influence continue to shape Mexico's political landscape and immigration policies.
