For thirty-four years Mexico existed under the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz. During this time Mexico’s industries flourished however the Mexican people remained deep in poverty with little to no opportunities for educational growth. The Mexican revolution was the result of Diaz’s fall from leadership, the peons need for independence, and resulted in a new beginning for Mexico. The Mexican Revolution began due to Porfirio Diaz not allowing anyone to have a voice or say in whatever it is they must do. The people of Mexico were upset because everyone was in poverty because only a select few people actually had money because Porfirio Diaz allowed them to those select few where also the ones in power behind Porfirio. Due to all of the poverty and the poor not having a say in anything they do or have to do it caused an uprising of the peasants led by Emeliano Zapata and Pancho Villa which are greatly known for their effort against the corruption and poverty in Mexico. Although Porfirio Diaz had brought some great things to help Mexico flourish in the industrial form and economical form but for the normal working class citizens that aren’t good friends with Diaz or know him on a personal level are left broke and are left with no way to get away from their financial problems because Diaz doesn’t allow them to make enough money to prosper in anything they do.

In April of 1910 a new person entered the presidential race and that persons’ name is Francisco Madero who happened to be the first serious opposition that Diaz has ever had to go against in a presidential election. During the campaigning process in mid June Diaz had Madero jailed for fake and make up charges simply due to the fact that Madero was coming ahead in the campaign because the people of Mexico liked the changes Madero wanted to bring to Mexico which involved a democracy and that was something that the people of Mexico have been begging for and desperately wanting ever since Diaz came into presidency. Madero was later released in October and he decided to go ahead and announce a plan for San Luis, Potosi Madero later claims that Diaz's election was illegal which later called for the Mexicans rebellion on November twentieth.
