    The Mexican Revolution began in 1910 with the overthrow of dictator Porfirio Diaz, who had consolidated power by appointing wealthy families to control the provinces. A growing middle class questioned the corruption of Diaz's regime. Francisco Madero created a movement against Diaz and campaigned for president in 1910, but was jailed before the election. Though Diaz claimed victory through fraud, Madero turned to rural farmers, who made up the majority of Mexico's population but had little political power and did not own the land they worked. Armed rebellion against Diaz's government spread as peasants organized themselves, new revolutionary leaders emerged, and political instability gripped Mexico after Diaz's ouster.

    land they work to. cake and people puked. Mama
