The Mexican Revolution began on November 20, 1910 as an attempt to overthrow the rule of Mexican President Porfirio Diaz, who had been in power since 1877. Diaz stepped down and submitted to exile in 1911.
The Mexican Revolution was a major armed struggle that started in 1910, with an uprising led by Francisco I. Madero against longtime autocrat Porfirio Diaz, and lasted for the better part of two decades until around 1929. The Revolution was characterized by several socialist, liberal, anarchist, populist, and agrarian movements.
