Matteo’s Journal – Mexican Revolution

He only cared about himself and how everything would affect him. 19-year-old Matteo basically only cared about his own life, only worrying when the events would affect him, even through the 10 years of the revolution in his country.

The Mexican Revolution helped change the country from being controlled by dictators, to being a free country with their own elections and election systems. Throughout the 10 years of the Revolution, Mexico went through 5 presidents, Madero, Huerta, Gutíerrez, Carranza, and finally coming to an end with Obregon as president in 1920. Before the revolution, the citizens of Mexico were looked down on, working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no rests or holidays. There was a lot of food shortages, and investments in foreign capital caused extreme poverty for the civilians. After the revolution, in 1920,  a period of stability and political reform was brought to Mexico by Obregon.
