At its core the Mexican Revolution was started because of a cycle of incompetent or selfish leaders, followed by the overthrowing of said incompetent leader and the arrival of a new one. The essence of it can be summarized by this quote, “I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.” This cycle lasted from 1910 until 1920, and its path is paid with blood and violence, with seemingly every new leader that replaced the old one harboring a selfish want for the role rather than using it to create peace. The main leaders we would discuss in our video are Diaz, Zapata, Orozco, Carranza, Obregón, and Madero. With Madero and Diaz being the sole reason for starting it, with Diaz using his role as president for greed and power, and Madero wanting to put a start to it.
