Common Craft Video Template GO Editable.docx
This video was made by Lucas Yu and Yao Liu. It shows a simplified version of the Mexican Revolution. The video covers everything from Porfirio Diaz’s dictatorship to Alvaro Obregon’s presidency, and how one single revolt to attempt to end a dictatorship resulted in around a decade of war and blood.
One of the big ideas about revolutions presented in this video is that revolutions are often made of many chain events. For example, in the Mexican revolution, the initial goal was only to overthrow one leader. However, every time a president was replaced, the new president wouldn’t be much better. This process between election and rebellion lasted for around a decade until the people of Mexico were finally satisfied.
One thing I learned about revolutions is that there is always a reason for every revolt, rivalry, and battle, whether it may be land, social inequality, poor living conditions, or something else. People demand for something when they revolt, and if that demand is not met when the revolt is successful, they will likely start another rebellion.
Thank you for taking your time to read. Enjoy the video!

All resulted in a lack of representation of the citizens: Diaz’s revolution was declared illegal and unjust, not voted for by the citizens, while the acts passed by the british parliament had no american representation
the revolutions both resulted in a separation of church and state in both the us and mexico
Yet the mexican revolution was more of a civil war between madero and diaz, with less foreign intervention
the american revolution was against a foreign power (britain), with french intervention2

I like your video. I especially like the parts where you added the WeChat emojis and other speech bubbles for the people. Some similarity from Cuban revolution and Mexican revolution (Mexico and Cuba underwent major revolutions led by rebels who opposed their current presidents), Cubans in our revolution experienced similar periods of authoritarian political leadership. Like Mexico’s Díaz, Fulgenico Batista (Reason why Cuban revolution started/ dictator at the start of the Cuban revolution) exercised his power over Cuban politics for a twenty five year period. Like the Cuban revolution. We’re fighting for one cause and therefore we’re able to take down both forces. A difference i spotted between the Cuban Revolution was unlike Mexico, Cuba turned to communism under Castro while Mexico had people fighting to get out of dictatorship. Both Cuba and Mexico both speak Spanish. The Mexican revolution was a liberal political revolution that established a new constitution and democratic rule. The Mexican Revolution was more successful than the Cuban Revolution.
