@tunakichi1 It was devastating for the average Mexican agriculturalist. This also led to massive amounts of Mexican immigration into the United States because work was becoming hard to come by.

@tunakichi1 I completely agree! In many aspects, the Mexican Revolution was a failure for the common person. They are still fighting for what they were fighting for 100 years ago.

@tunakichi1 Religion usually plays an important part in such tensions. Mexico is still a heavily religious (90%+ Roman Catholic) so religion plays an important part in politics up to today.

@ryder_see Myth's can be a good political tool. Presently, AMLO and MORENA have used the myth of Cardenas in an attempt to bring change to Mexico.

@ryder_see @gay_simpkins Germany has always been a very diverse country politically. Even when the Nazi Party ruled, leftists were still in abundance.

#HIST466 AMLO and his party/coalition MORENA show many similarities to that of Cardenas (they even point to him as a source of their ideology). AMLO's presidency with be a major point in Mexico's history whether it turns out positive or negative.

#HIST466 PAN turned out to bring much of the same that Mexico had been plagued with. This led to the prominence of left-wing politics and the election of longtime national figure AMLO as president of Mexico.

#HIST466 Gonzales compares the election of Fox to Cardenas, but oh what he would have said about the election of AMLO! PAN did not turn out to be the saving grace that they made themselves out to be.

#HIST466 I disagree with Gonzales' use of the term "third world" because it takes on a distinctly Western-centric point of view. But, Gonzales is definitely correct in saying that Mexico was deteriorating at rapid speeds.

#HIST466 "Suddenly, once-proud Mexico seemed like just another Third World country" (Gonzales 262).

#HIST466 The North American Free Trade Agreement also brought devastating effects for the poorer people of Mexico. Many agricultural jobs were leaving northern Mexico.

#HIST466 The 1990's had brought extremely turbulent politics for Mexico. Assassinations of presidential candidates and the rise of the EZLN in southern Mexico marked the end of the PRI's reign.

#HIST466 The election of Vicente Fox brought an end to over 70 years of dominance of the PRI over Mexican politics. It's not an overstatement to say it was the end of an era, and the beginning of a new era for Mexico.

#HIST466 "On July 2, 2000, Vicente Fox Quesada, the candidate of the centrist-right Partido Accion Nacional (PAN) won the Mexican Presidency over Fransisco Labastida Ochoa, the standard bearer of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI)" (Gonzales 261).

#HIST466 Significant changes came to Mexico in the year 2000. The PRI's virtual one-party state dominance came to an end.

@tunakichi1 Some revolutions can be centered-around a central figure by the Mexican Revolution was far from that. It would even be hard to pinpoint it down to 10 people!

[고양이 @M4Odh]

@tunakichi1 The revolution would continue to be reborn a few times. It certainly did not end in 1920 and one could argue the remnants are still their today.

@gay_simpkins That is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I love the architecture.

@tunakichi1 It was definitely all over the place. There were as many factions as there were opinions which can be endless.
