He’s name is Carlos, born in a poor village in Mexico. He lost his parents when he was young, but he had a loving wife. Although life is hard, but he work like a dog everyday to not let the family starve. He thought such a life is not bad, as long as the family can be safe, but a sudden incident changed him completely…

The Mexican Revolution started in 1910, the economic policies of Porfirio Díaz, unequal distribution of land, deeply entrenched economic inequality, and undemocratic institutions were the causes of the revolution.  From my perspective,  the multitudes of deaths and lost of lives  the Mexico Revolution are a huge suffer, but the revolution can be called a success. At the beginning of the revolution, the majority of Mexico was in poverty. The Mexican Revolution started in 1910, because the economic policies of Porfirio Díaz, which sold Mexican land to foreigners in order to favour with foreign powers, and forced the peasant-class Mexicans to work like slaves on the fields everyday for them. The unequal distribution of land, deeply entrenched economic inequality, and undemocratic institutions were the causes of the revolution. The people being peasant-class citizens,  was furious by his decision. After the decade long revolution,  the long-term battles had finally ended, a men called Alvaro Obregon won the election and were able to take the presidency and put work into the land distribution of  Mexico and also brought Mexico culture, art, and education.
