The Mexican Revolution (1910- 1920)

10 million did not own land in
1910.
• Many armies of rebels and
reformers
• Guerilla warfare
Francisco Madero
• Mexico’s president in
1911.
• A wealthy rancher
• Wanted free honest
elections

The Problem of Land
• Poor farmers wanted land of their own
• Wanted to break up giant haciendas and give
each family a few acres.
• The land of the haciendas once belonged to
the village farmers.
• A law passed in 1883 made it easy for rich
ranch owners to take the land of villages to
form haciendas.
Emiliano Zapata
"I am determined to fight
against anything and anyone
with nothing more than the
confidence and support of
my people".
Who is Emiliano Zapata?
• Legendary fighter for farmers’
rights
• Motto: land and liberty
• Fought in the south of Mexico
• Murdered in 1919
• People have long taken different sides on their
evaluation of Emiliano Zapata and his
followers.
• Some considered them bandits, but to others
they were true revolutionaries who worked
for the peasants
The End
• On April 10, 1919, Zapata was tricked into a
meeting with one of Carranza's generals who
wanted to "switch sides." The meeting was a
trap, and Zapata was killed as he arrived at the
meeting.
