November 20: Mexican Revolution Day

November 20 marks the Mexican national public holiday of Revolution Day. This is a celebration of the anniversary when the revolution began to depose President Porfirio Diaz who had been president in 1876, from 1877 to 1880, and finally from 1884 to 1911. Many poor Mexicans felt that the progress made by Diaz’s government had only favored the rich and privileged, and leaders including Francisco Madero led the revolution to reform the government. Madero was elected president in 1911.

Unfortunately this initial revolution was short-lived, with Madero being assassinated by accomplices of Victoriano Huerta. Huerta had been appointed by Madero to repress an earlier attempt by Mexican generals to unseat Madero. A new revolutionary effort emerged in 1914, causing Huerta to flee Mexico. The Mexican Constitution was reformed in 1917, and fighting among groups continued until 1920, when the Mexican revolution truly took hold.
