Even though Mexico has made attempts to increase its literacy rate, there are still underdeveloped areas. #Hist466

The Cristero Rebellion was a culminating struggle between the government's actions to minimize the powers of the church and the faithful who saw it as unfair. #Hist466

[Eli @Eliazar61826971]

Another topic in which the Constitutionalists and Zapatistas disagreed on, was on their views of the church. #Hist466

[Eli @Eliazar61826971]

The PRM was the precursor of the PRI. #Hist466

[Eli @Eliazar61826971]

Huerta's unpopularity just like Diaz, temporarily made different groups band together. #Hist466

[Eli @Eliazar61826971]

"If Emiliano Zapata represented the soul of the land reform movement, Pancho Villa represented the muscle." Gonzales's observation makes sense because Zapata did things intrinsically and Villa was more forceful. #Hist466

Coincidently, Morelos and Chihuahua were major areas of agrarian protest. #Hist466

I still recall in the mid 1990's when a dollar was worth 3 pesos. However, from one day to another, it's worth tripled. A good thing for Americans, but it was unfortunate for Mexicans. #Hist466

It was an unfortunate case the assassination of Luis Donaldo Colosio, he seemed like the real deal because of his charisma and people liked him. #Hist466

In 2000, Vicente Fox accomplished what no one else had done in decades, defeat the all-powerful PRI. #Hist466

@tajmahalo1133 Zapata ultimately became the banner for land redistribution for peasants, no matter where they lived in Mexico.

[Eli @Eliazar61826971]

@tajmahalo1133 It was difficult for such people to think of life without the church because they have been indoctrinated by it for centuries.

@TheCALund At the same time, Calles wanted another puppet he could control.

[Eli @Eliazar61826971]

@TheCALund Cardenas knew he had to take such actions in order to be able to challenge the jefe politico.

[Eli @Eliazar61826971]

@TheCALund Due to the varying interests and demands, it made it difficult for any Mexican president during and after the Mexican Revolution to create all-encompassing policies that addressed all of the concerns of the nation.

[Eli @Eliazar61826971]

Although Cardenas was much in favor of land reform, he still desired to move Mexico towards an industrial economy. #Hist466

[Eli @Eliazar61826971]

Cardenas's land reform initiative had mixed results. #Hist466

[Eli @Eliazar61826971]

Interestingly, Cardenas redistributed more land than all of his predecessors combined. #Hist466

[Eli @Eliazar61826971]

Cardenas was a smart man, he even made deals with regional caudillos who had some authority in their provinces. #Hist466

[Eli @Eliazar61826971]

So, it was Cardenas who establishes Los Pinos as the residence for Mexico's president. #Hist466
