The Mexican Revolution began in 1910 as opposition to Porfirio Díaz and grew into a broad social and political conflict. It involved leaders such as Francisco I. Madero, Emiliano Zapata, Pancho Villa, Venustiano Carranza, and Álvaro Obregón.

For citizenship learners, the Revolution is central because it led to the Constitution of 1917 and shaped modern Mexican politics, land reform, labor rights, and national identity.
