The Mexican Revolution was a major armed struggle that took place between 1910 and 1920, aimed at overthrowing the long-standing dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. It was fueled by widespread discontent among the peasantry and middle class, leading to a series of conflicts and the emergence of key figures like Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa. The revolution sought to address issues such as land reform and social justice. As a result of the revolution, significant political changes occurred, including the establishment of a constitutional republic. The revolution also laid the groundwork for future social reforms and the eventual creation of the Mexican Constitution of 1917, which remains influential today.
