The Mexican Revolution began on 20 November 1910 with an uprising against Porfirio Díaz and continued through 1 December 1920. After Díaz fell, rival revolutionary factions fought over political power, land reform, and Mexico's future. The conflict led to the Constitution of 1917, establishing a framework for land redistribution and workers' rights.
