Fast facts: The day of the revolution also known as the Mexican Civil War took place in the years leading up to 1910. The dictator, Porfirio Diaz had been in power for 35 years and the people said “enough” leading to a political rebellion. A wealthy landowner, Francisco Madero [along with Pancho Villa and others] challenged Diaz and became the next president in 1911; he was elected in a free and fair election. It didn’t last long as he was assassinated in 1913. There continued to be many, many more battles always physical and political – but Mexico chose to celebrate La Dia de la Revolución on November 20 to honour the original men who ousted Diaz.
