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.
