After the revolution, many things changed. For example, Obregon, who was the president after the Mexican Revolution, retained presidency for 8 years. Compared to presidents like Madero and Huerta who were presidents during the revolution, they only served for about a year, that was a pretty big leap. Also, Obregon returned stolen land to peasants, improved their working conditions, and didn’t rule by extreme force, compared to Diaz who did exactly the opposite-he made working conditions harsh, took peasants’ land for his own benefit, and killed anyone who opposed him.

In contrast, things also stayed the same. For example, presidents still tried to force who they wanted as president. During the revolution, Carranza tried to force his successor as president, which caused Obregon to retaliate, winning the battle and becoming president. However, four years later, Obregon wanted Calles to become president, but de la Huerta also wanted to run for president, and in the end Obregon won the battle, making Calles president.

To add on, important people in the revolutionaries were still assassinated after the revolution. For example, during the revolution in 1919, Zapata was assassinated through a betrayal from Carranza’s army. Similarly, after the revolution in 1923, Obregon ordered Pancho Villa to be gunned down in his car.
