Porfirio Diaz was born a mestizo and was very poor. Since he was poor he was still able to go to school, but his family was religious. So he began going to a catholic school at the age of 15. He also never fully finished his education.

Chicos!!! a mestizo is a person who is half indigenous, this means native to the land just in case you might be lost!!

Once his presidency was over Diaz was exiled to Paris.

Just 4 years after being exiled to Paris. Diaz died a peaceful death on July 2, 1915, at the age of 84.

Leading up to the presidency

Also about ⅚ years after Diaz left they signed the constitution of 1917 and separated church from state. But all of this was not put into place immediately. It took a couple of years to be put into the works completely.

But that's enough talking about what happened to Mexico. Let's now go in-depth about what had happened to Diaz after he got overruled by Madero. What happened to him..?

Díaz resigned his command and went back to&nbsp;Oaxaca&nbsp;when peace was restored but soon became dissatisfied with the Juárez administration. He led an unsuccessful protest against the 1871 reelection of Juárez, who died the following year.

So the long-lasting 7 term presidency started in December 1884. Finally came to an end on the 25th of May 1911.

Once Diaz surrendered Madero made him sign the Treaty of Ciudad Juarez. Which meant Diaz needed to stand down as Mexico's president.&nbsp;

After Diaz’s presidency had ended. Francisco Madero came in charge. Diaz’s whole economic system was destroyed. So was the social system. But the new Mexican government started listening to the people. They gave recognition to the labor unions and the peasant organizations. And promoted them.

So after Diaz, the government let go of their favoritism towards the rich. And started listening to all the people

Once he completes most of the catholic school, he is offered a job as a priest, but diaz ends up joining seminary of students who go against the U.S. invasion.

After joining diaz leaves the school and joins the military to pursue his future.

Before joining the military Diaz actually studied law with liberal Benito Juarez and continued to form ideas with his new friend. They continue to study law, but he doesn't finish his degree in law.

Lerdo would be re-elected in July 1876. His constitutional government was recognized by the United States. Díaz then returned to Mexico and fought in the Battle of Tecoac. Here, he would defeat Lerdo's forces in what turned out to be the last battle on 16 November.

Known as the War of Reform, it followed the overthrow of Santa Anna and was led by Juárez. Diaz led his troops to victory after victory, despite great privations and difficulties. He was promoted to captain, and lieutenant-colonel Following civil war, political strife, open rebellion, and the Great War of Reform, the French invasion of 1862, and the landing of Emperor Maximilian in 1864, came in quick succession.
