There was an unfair and cruel president in this building...Loading...
His name was Porfirio DíazWhile the middle and lower class were struggling to make a living...
The upper class was swimming in money
This was the main conflict during the 34-year rule of Dictator Diaz called "The Porfiriato"
The lower-class workers became hungry and furious for justice...
As this continued for a little over 30 years...
they were ready to revolt.

The Uprising
The Uprising
Almost as if a revolution were to begin!
Then came this man, Francisco Madero
What he did was write a little thing called the "Plan de San Luis." This is what was used to rid Mexico of Porfirio's reign.
As his ideas spread around Mexico, an army of rebels began to form as well...but...who formed this army...?
Along this man, there was another who accompanied him in his fight against Díaz who went by the name of Francisco "Pancho" Villa
His popularity in the revolution was tremendous in which his image was known throughout Mexico.
He then formed his rebel army to combat the forces of Diaz.
