Causes Of 1910: The Mexican Revolution
During 1910 Mexico was interrupted by the Mexican revolution, it was the 100th anniversary of its independence from Spain, but many people were oppressed by the 34-year reign of Porfirio Diaz who ruled as a dictator. During this time, the poverty and violence ruled the streets of Mexico and disease took hold of the poor, and the job opportunities for unskilled people paid next to nothing. The situation that infuriated Mexicans the most was the fact that Diaz encouraged foreign countries to take over Mexico land and industry as they wanted.
