Below is a historical fiction journal of a farmer who volunteered himself in the Mexican Revolution. He talks about the various challenges and conflicts he faced while rebelling against the Mexican government and the ruthless dictators. He shares his opinions and emotions throughout the revolution, explaining the real historical events that happened.

I agree with Jose that the Mexican Revolution was worth it because it forced a significant change in the government and had a cruicial impact on Mexico’s future. The revolution sparked a new generation for Mexico, including the redistribution of land to peasants and a change in labor laws. I would say that this revolution was successful because it benefited mostly the peasants and lower classes in Mexico resulting in many positive effects. The initial goal of the revolution was to overthrow the ruthless dictator Porfirto Diaz, however it slowly grew towards a major movement that requested modifications in the government. Some people would argue that it was not worth it because some historians believe that the revolution lasted longer up till 1940 since the violent attacks still continued after. However, it is still one of the most impactful movements in Mexican history because it began the Constitution of 1917, sparking education for the people who never had the opportunity to read or write. It completely reversed the original government, promoting organizations to help improve life in rural areas of the country. Therefore, I still believe that the Mexican revolution benefited the people greatly, improving their lives—which is the purpose of a successful revolution.
