Turning Point of the Mexican Revolution

             Leaders such as Francisco I. Madero, Venustiano Carranza, Pancho Villa, and Emiliano Zapata pursued different objectives during the revolution, two of them pursued the political reform and even became presidents of Mexico. The other two became well known heroes of the lower class; they supported them with economic reforms. Zapata was well-known for helping the poor farmers cultivate. .
             In the early 20th century Mexico experienced a violent political and social upheaval. It began in Nov. 1910 with a revolution that would change a great nation in an attempt to bring down President Porfirio Diaz, reign of 30 years of service. Diaz tactics that allowed him to stay in the seat for so long were sleazy. His ability to appease the people from keeping them from rebelling, could only last so long. It was Diaz failures that led to economic problems, lack of education, equal rights among all social classes and genders, and poor agriculture and so on that are the reasons why he needed to be removed.
             The Mexicans were tired of being ruled by President Diaz. The people united together from all social classes; they finally came together because they had an enemy in common. Some of the factors were poor working conditions, inflations, low wages, bad housing, and deficient social services. The lower and working class had the worst injustices that had to revolt in order to have a chance of a better life. The middle and upper class were also dissatisfied with the President Diaz was ruling. There were no specific genders that were against the President, everyone was standing up voicing their opinion: men, women, young adults, and children were fighting for their rights. Mexico's history has fluctuated through the years. Similar to any other third world country it has had its high and lows that alter its path and views of how to make it a better place. The Mexican Revolution was the most significant point in its history.
