¡Encantado de conocerlo! My name is José Sánchez, and I am one of many farmers who under wealthy land owners that decided to join the revolution. The revolution was a time of Bloodshed and Turmoil, in which many factions were fighting for what they believed in. Read on to understand the revolution a bit better from the perspective of a lowly peasant and how hard the revolution could be of us.

The 1910 Mexican Revolution was a time of major changes, for better or for worse. One of the major changes of the Mexican Revolution was the overthrow of Diaz’s long-standing dictatorship, to a much more fair and democratic voting system, allowing a wide range of candidates to run for presidency. Another key change of the Mexican Revolution was the major educational reforms that Obregon oversaw, including establishing a ministry of public education. As a result of these changes, over 1000 rural schools were opened across the country.

In contrast, there were a few things after the revolution that still stayed the same. One of the key continuities over the course of the revolution is the gap between the healthy and the poor. Even though some land was redistributed among the people, the elite still manage to hold onto their large amounts of land, allowing them to retain significant control over resources and political influence. Another continuity is how gender roles and expectations continued to favor men over women, and that women’s rights and opportunities were not significantly advanced over the course of the revolution.
