The Mexican Revolution was a violent social and cultural movement which brought the beginning of changes in Mexico. The changes in turn brought a sense of freedom to the citizens of its country. The revolution started because of the actions of the Mexican President Porfirio Diaz. His regime not only favoured the involvement of the United States in Mexican life, it was centered on expanding the Mexican economy. If successful, this would have eventually classified Mexico as a capitalist country but in the end would have harmed the peasant class which populated most of Mexico. The Diaz regime can be considered the main cause of the revolution but the governments who followed him can be seen as factors in the continuation of the revolution.\n\nFrancisco Madero, Victoriano Huerta, Pancho Villa and Venustiano Carranza were all important individuals in the revolution because of the role they played in attaining a stable government in Mexico. All four leaders were important in gaining a sense of what was important to the people of Mexican and what was needed in gaining stability and freedom in Mexico. Emiliano Zapata can be seen as a Mexican hero because of the stand he took against Porfirio Diaz. Zapata helped the peasant class take back their land and regain Mexico as their own nation. These individuals are significant when classifying important individuals who were seen in the revolution.\n\nThe Zapatistas were members of Zapata’s revolutionary guerilla groups. They took their name from Zapata who led these groups into attaining a stable Mexico. These guerilla groups were important in involving the Mexican population in their government. Guerilla groups were seen all across Latin America and were highly effective because of their ability to organize and attack in small groups.\n\nThe effects of the Diaz regime were greatly felt in agrarian land reform. Laws were implemented to benefit foreign investors. The Diaz regime confiscated large sections of land from the people of Mexico. The Mexican Revolution saw new agrarian land laws passed to give back the people what was rightfully theirs. The laws were seen as an important step in achieving a stable government and country.\n\nThe involvement of women in the Mexican Revolution was substantial, especially because of the way they were regarded in the early 1900’s. Women took part in politics and in life on the battlefields. This was a significant advancement for women because their role in the revolution became as important as a male role. The United States also played a vital role in the Mexican Revolution. Early on they wanted to stabilize the Diaz government to ensure that relations between the two countries would remain stable. This would also ensure that the foreign trade between the two countries would remain. United States involvement in the Mexican Revolution began as monitoring the revolution and ended in militaristic intervention. Further, the Mexican Revolution influenced the United States with the increase in immigrants from Mexico to the U.S. and their push for change in Mexico from across the border.\n\nThe role the Mexican Catholic Church during the Revolution is also an important aspect because of the many transformations it takes. The Roman Catholic Church in Mexico has a very influential role during the course of Mexican history. This role is greatly altered during the course of the revolution.\n\nThe youth movement in any revolution is important because youth are seen as the future of a nation. In Mexico, the results were not very positive because the many university students had been given the title of anti-revolutionaries. They were accused of non-accepting of the ideals and beliefs of the revolution.\n\nMexican culture, such as cinema, music and literature, was also a driving factor in gaining support during the revolution. All parts of the culture were organized to show people that change was needed in order to gain a free Mexico. Mexican nationalism was an ev

Mexican will overthrow their corrupt government, and will adopt a democrat government similar to U.S. And they will patrol the border so Mexican could left illegally. And they make their country a higher stardard of living so no one wants to leave.

The Mexican Revolution\nDuring the government of Porfirio Díaz internal peace was established under his dictatorial rule and economic development started, foreign investment was encouraged with the aim of exploiting raw materials and promoting industrial development. However, the social unrest and the political opposition to the regime of Porfirio Díaz triggered the Mexican Revolution.\n\nFrancisco I. Madero was elected as the new President but was assassinated in 1911. With his assassination the Mexican Revolution started. Various factions lead by Emiliano Zapata in the south, Francisco Villa in the north and others, took up arms against dictator Victoriano Huerta, who had ordered the murder of Madero and Vice President Pino Suarez.\n\nUnder the new leadership of Venustiano Carranza, the Constitution was approved in 1917, which was one of the most advanced of its time due to its high social content.\n\nFighting among revolutionary groups did not end until 1920.

"In late 1861, Napoleon III of France sent his troops to Mexico, supposedly to collect debts owed by a previous Mexican government. President Benito Juárez had agreed to pay these debts, but only in installments. The true goal of Napoleon III was to dispose of the Mexican Constitutional Government, set up a monarchy favorable to France, and then expand control to Central and South America.\n\nNapoleon III's troops occupied the port city of Veracruz on December 8, 1861. The expedition's true goal soon became apparent."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Puebla\n\nhttp://www.historychannel.com/tdih/tdih.jsp?category=general&month=10272957&day=10272970

Indeed, the mexican independence from Spain in 1820 got some inspiration upon french revolution. In 1821 got consummated. But practically speaking, semi or even fully slavery conditions continued in rural communities until the Mexican revolution took place (1910).

I was just about to post the same thing but you beat me too it! I guess great minds think alike!! I live in NY state and i saw no change. I even saw Mexicans here buying things, working, acting like nothing was new. No signs, No protesters, nothing. Business as usual here. Now i live in  trailer park, next to a gas station. And a lot of the population here is Hispanic and Mexican. I sat in my house and watch them go to the store, buy things, just act like nothing was wrong. If i didn't frequent Yahoo Answers then i would have never know about the marches yesterday. So I think that the "March" was poorly organized. It didn't reach every single aspect of our American lives or our city's. Like it was intended. And I thought that was the point? I know they marched in D.C., and New York City, and all the BIGGER city's in our country, but its the small city's that make up alot about this country. And we saw no effect. So i really wouldn't worry.. I don't think they accomplished much yesterday. Nothing at all.

Health Care and Social Security\n\nIn the early 1990s, Mexico showed clear signs of having entered a transitional stage in the health of its population. When compared with 1940 or even 1970, Mexico in the 1990s exhibited mortality patterns that more closely approximated those found in developed societies (see table 5, Appendix). Health officials have also reported substantial reductions in morbidity rates for several diseases typically prevalent in poorer countries.

The US invaded Mexico in the 19th century and carried off six Mexican states, giving Mexico $2 million compensation.\nI would say the motivation was the same, a massive land/resources grab. Fortunately, Mexico regained control of its oil and mining in the 1930s.\n\nThe US–Mexican War was a military conflict fought between the United States and Mexico in the years 1846 to 1848, in the wake of the U.S. annexation of Texas in 1845. Mexico had always refused to recognize the loss of Texas in 1836 and announced its intention to take back what it considered a rebel province. In the United States, the war was a partisan issue, supported by most Democrats and opposed by most Whigs. Popular belief in the Manifest Destiny of the United States ultimately translated into public support for the war. In Mexico, the war was considered a matter of national pride.

Mexico is about to collapse after the next election into fighting between drug cartels and corrupt politicians and police.   Anarchy will result.  Expect loss of production in all those factories that jumped over the border and even perhaps a glitch or two in natural gas and oil supplies.  Search news some sources are belatedly reporting it.  We may need to close border period, not just monitor it if situation gets really serious.  Both defeated criminal gangs and other refugees will be trying to flee.

NAFTA has had a devastating effect on Mexican agriculture. With tarriffs eliminated, it is actually cheaper for US farmers to ship corn and other vegetables to Mexico than it is for Mexican farmers to bring them to market.\n\nThe shipment of cheap corn into Mexico has put literally hundreds of thousands of Mexican farmers out of work, and most have fled to either Mexico City (which now exceeds 20 million) or the border, and then the US.

We aren't honest about the problem.  For the most part, this is a national security issue having to do with mexico.  Quite literally, mexico has created a black market industry that rivals oil exportation as its main source of revenue.  This has horrible consequences for both us and mexico.  Drugs have a direct effect on our population but the money sent back to mexico creates a situation where the most heinously evil people have tons of power.  We are seeing the result right now as the mexican government is only a few short steps from being overthrown and being replaced with a communist/totalitarian government fueled by drug money.  Mexico has become the type of place where you are out dancing at a club, minding your own business when all of a sudden a group of gunmen burst in and toss a bunch of severed heads on the stage as a warning to people.\n\nSolving this is quite direct.  Shut down the border and seal it tight.  The methamphetamines issue is even simpler to solve.  Get rid of certain OTC cold medications and it becomes very difficult to manufacture them.

Mexico is becoming less and less socialist and more capitalist all the time, so the prospect of the country following Central America´s example is low.  What will the US do for wage slaves?  If anything, wages will be forced to go up and citizens and legal residents will reap the benefits.

Someone's jealous \n\nAs much as I wish things would change for the better, I really dont see the president powerful enough to affect any change.  Mexico is still run by big business and drugs.  Money is king.

Some parts are safer than others but it is not a safe place in general. Mexico is a country that teeters on the verge of revolution. It is unstable and unpredictable. Its only a matter of time until violence against Americans increases.

MMMMM... Here in Mexico, USA enter in two points in the history classes:\n- The 13 colonies, what was it, and what they decided to revolt.\n- the mexican-american war... here teachs that all the texas stuff was a stratagem of the USA's gov to get the northen states of México 'cause they needed it for build the trnascontinental railroad. \n-the IIWW, being "the good ones".\n\nalso something about the pancho villa's raid in columbus, but with reason (american army was attacking the revolutionaries in the north of mexico, crossing the border.)
