Led the movement called La Reforma which aimed to: Break the power of the large landowners Improve education to the poor Napoleon III tried to conquer Mexico for unpaid debts & Juarez defeated the invasion force.

How did Porfirio Diaz stay in power for so long? (1876 – 1880) & (1884 – 1911) Brought order to Mexico Ended raids by bandits Brought some economic growth (encouraged foreign investments) Limited political freedom however

6. Why did the 1910 Mexican Revolution occur? Causes: 31-year dictatorship of Diaz No democracy; people could not vote Economic inequality: wealth & land in the hands of the few No freedom of speech High taxes High unemployment

Causes: Diaz called for elections, but then imprisoned his main rival Francisco Madero, who believed in democracy Madero escaped to the United States in 1910. He declared that the elections had been a fraud and that he would not recognize Diaz as the legitimate President of the Republic. Madero declared himself President until new elections could be held. Madero promised to return all land which had been confiscated from the peasants, and he called for universal voting rights and for a limit of one term for the president.

The Mexican Revolution Madero's call for an uprising on November 20th, 1910, marked the beginning of the Mexican Revolution. Madero was able to persuaded Francisco “Pancho” Villa to join the revolution. Villa proved to be an excellent strategist, and he earned the allegiance of the people of the NORTH, who were particularly unhappy about the abusive ranchers and landlords who ran the North.

The Mexican Revolution Emiliano Zapata led the uprising of the peasants of the SOUTH to claim their rights over local land and water. At the same time, armed revolt began in many other parts of the country. Diaz’s army was defeated within six months & he resigned. Zapata

Madero (1911 – 1913) President With the collapse of the Diaz regime, the Mexican Congress called for national popular elections, which resulted in the victory of Madero as President.

7. What was the Plan of Ayala? Zapata denounced President Madero for his betrayal of the revolutionary ideals. Madero demanded Zapata's army disarm as a precondition for discussion of the land issue. After Madero supported plantation owners and failed to settle the land issue to Zapata's satisfaction, the peasant leader mobilized his army again. Zapata called for new elections & redistribution of land

Huerta (1920) President Madero was soon overthrown by General Victoriano Huerta, who granted amnesty to Díaz and suppressed resistance to land reforms. Murdered Madero in February of 1913. General Victoriano Huerta

8. Why were Emilio Zapata and Pancho Villa opposed by the United States? Zapata & Villa threatened American business interests in Mexico.

Venustiano Carranza (1914 – 1920) President Carranza, Zapata & Villa overthrew Huerta’s government. Carranza then turned on the revolutionaries & murdered Zapata. The civil war ended with over 1 million Mexicans dead. Venustiano Carranza Zapata's dead body on display on the day he died.

Alvaro Obregon (1920 – 1924) President Carranza did not support the new constitution. Obregon overthrew Carranza in 1920. Obregon supported the reforms of the new constitution. Alvaro Obregon

9. What was the Cristero War? (1926 – 1929) A counter-revolution against the anti-Catholic Mexican government of the time, caused by the anti-clerical provisions of the Mexican Constitution of 1917. Violence began on January 1, 1927 with the rebels calling themselves Cristeros because they felt they were fighting for Christ Himself. Just as the Cristeros began to hold their own against the federal forces, the rebellion was ended by diplomatic means, brokered by the U.S.

10. What did Lazaro Cardenas accomplish in 1938? (1934 – 1940) President Land reform Labor rights (unions) Nationalized the oil industry Kicked out foreign oil companies

11. What is the North American Free Trade Agreement? (1994) Trilateral trade bloc created by the United States, Canada & Mexico. Eliminated tariffs & trade restrictions among the 3 nations.

NAFTA – North American Free Trade Agreement

United States President Bill Clinton signing NAFTA into law, November 1993.

NAFTA – Positive Effects: Created the world’s largest free trade area, linking 439 million people and producing $15.3 trillion in goods and services annually. Eliminated tariffs and agreements on international rights for business investors. Increased trade & capital = business growth. Elimination of tariffs also reduces inflation, by decreasing costs of imports. Trade between the 3 NAFTA nations tripled, from $297 billion in 1993 to $903 billion in 2007. U.S. goods exports to Canada and Mexico grew 157%, from $142 billion to $364.6 billion. Exports from Canada and Mexico to the U.S. grew 231%, from $151 billion in to $501 billion.

NAFTA – Negative Effects: Since the cost of labor is cheaper in Mexico, many industries moved part of their production from high-cost U.S. states. Between 1994 and 2002, the U.S. lost 1.7 million jobs but gained 794,00 jobs, for a net loss of 879,000 jobs of which 78% were in manufacturing. States hit particularly hard include CA, NY, MI, & TX. These states have high concentrations of industries (such as motor vehicles, textiles, computers, and electrical appliances) which moved a large number of plants to Mexico. Lower U.S. wages > Companies threaten to move south if unions demand higher wages Mexican farmers are being put out of business > U.S. agribusiness Mexican workers are exploited > Mexico’s weak labor laws Mexico's environment has suffered > Mexico’s weak environmental laws
