The Battle for Liberty

In 1910, a decade-long revolution in the country of Mexico began. Before Mexico’s first president came to power, Mexico was under Spanish control as a colony. But Mexico disagreed with this and gained independence on September 27, 1821. But it didn’t end there. After Spain left, France tried to join the party. At that time, Mexico was not ready to give up its independence, so fought against France and successfully drove the French away. In this battle, a general named Porfirio Diaz came out on top and became the reason of the Mexican Revolution and Mexico’s fight for land and freedom.
