    The Mexican Revolution was caused by political, economic, and social crises in Mexico including a tyrannical political system dominated by local authorities, high prices of staple goods, a silver price drop, and social discontent over the abusive hacienda system and debt peonage. Key figures in the revolution included Francisco Madero, who wanted to restore the 1857 constitution, along with Venustiano Carranza, Pancho Villa, and Victoriano Huerta, who staged a coup against Madero.
