José is my name. My words will take you on a voyage through the fierce fights on the road to change during the Mexican Revolution in my ancient. My dusty diary with worn-out pages explains my adventure. I joined the battle of Ciudad Juarez, and the Zapatistas afterward. I am fueled by courage, strength, and a burning desire for change in this revolution. This is the story of my doubts, triumphs, and the ever-changing world around him. Ten years of corruption, bribery, bloodshed, and social injustice had reached a tipping point.
The Mexican Revolution was a protracted, deadly conflict between numerous factions that saw continual changes in alliances and ultimately led to the end of Mexico’s 30-year dictatorship and the installation of a constitutional republic. Many were enraged. Many wanted to change. This marked the beginning of the Mexican Revolution. Mexico’s revolution began with President Porfirio Diaz, an absolute tyrant, and culminated with Alvaro Obregon creating the Constitutional Republic in 1917. Over many years, hundreds of conflicts, and an abundance of sacrifices. Mexico was ultimately stabilized by Alvaro Obregon.
After the Mexican Revolution, two things remained constant: the instability of the revolution delayed its completion until the 1930s. The Constitution of 1917 ended the revolution. At the same time, two things changed: the revolution ended Porfirio Diaz’s dictatorship, and Mexican presidents have been barred from seeking a second term since 1928. Politics and social liberties were established in the 1917 Constitution, while Catholicism’s role was limited. The 1917 Constitution established politics and social liberties while placing restrictions on the role of Catholics. Despite their disagreements over the fundamentals of the revolution, Emiliano Zapata, Pancho Villa, Porfirio Diaz, Victoriano Huerta, Venustiano Carranza, Francisco Madero, and Alvaro Obregon stand for the prospect that the legacy of the Mexican Revolution is more than the sum of its parts.
