The Mexican Revolution, what's new I might add, an amateur writing and in no way expert in history? Still present my version, because I believe that every citizen has a responsibility to know the history of the place where it fell, or he decided to live and exciting way, while effective, to learn, is to form their own text and Thus intimate.
Dicho, va pues, esta versión íntima de la insurrección popular que cimbreó al México de antaño.
LA REVOLUCIÓN MEXICANA
El consenso regular entre los ciudadanos es que la Revolución se reduce al alzamiento que terminó por derrocar a Díaz, mas ese hecho sólo fue un episodio en una larga secuencia de encontronazos entre los disímiles estratos sociales del México de las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Esta revolución fue vanguardia de una serie de conflictos alrededor del globo que compartieron su carácter emancipador de las masas oprimidas. A pesar de ser una revolución pionera, en momentos no alcanza el mismo reconocimiento de sus semejantes posteriores as the October Revolution led by the Soviet proletariat. Somehow, he has caricatured the war that inaugurated the resistance to social imbalance resulting from the Industrial Revolution and capitalism. The peasant guerrilla, as shown, has been reduced to a version that displays it as a wild impulse, drunk, womanizer and provocative. PORFIRIO DIAZ
In 1876, General Diaz came to power thanks to a military uprising opposed to the reelection of Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada. After a handful of scattered fighting the Porfiristas were winners and Lerdo had to leave the country. Porfirio Díaz was exalted time and maintained its leading position for 34 years. During the wealthy landowners porfiriato paid to the advent of social unrest for their extreme and constant abuse of laborers of their estates, excesses that were perpetrated under the eyes of the authorities condescending. In sum, the political and social domes fincar unbearable situation for the class tamed. In this regard there is a must read: the barbarous Barbarous Mexico journalist John Kenneth Turner. The depiction of slavery in estates seems a lyrical drama, however, their stories faithfully adhere to the harsh daily life endured by farmworkers in the Porfiriato. Across currency, tyranny period proved to be a bonanza for a small circle bourgeois was distributed to the abundant enjoyment hands full, rich fruit come directly from the work of the majority. 90% of foreign-owned industries was [i]. The social situation had not developed, the conditions were very similar to those of Europe in the agony of the Middle Ages. Employers invest little in labor at the expense of the deep poverty of their employees, their salary was poor and, in contrast, hours of wages came to be 16 hours a day [ii]. To worsen the lightness of peasant income, it was often not in money but in vouchers were accepted only in the "company store" of the Treasury, this property of the same employer, family members or their supervisors. The goods in company stores were very expensive, a situation made purposely for the pawn into debt and lose their freedom to decide when to end his working relationship with the plantation, said without euphemisms, the debtor became a slave your employer. In case of death of a worker, rather than debt is buried with the deceased, became a shameful legacy for their offspring ... The inheritance debtors were required to serve the same pattern that their ancestor had served until his death and try to settle a debt that had already proved invaluable. To give an idea of the likely number of injured lay it, according to the population census of 1910, the number of people in Mexico surrounded the 15 million and that about 80% depended on the work in the field. [1]
The landowners and industrialists were not the only favored by the powers of government, just as the clergy entered the circle and allowed to own land and garantizándosele extensive exemption from taxation.
FRANCISCO I. MADERO
When Diaz, in an effort to pretend that his was an administration willing on track on the road to democracy, told the foreign press would not seek re-election for next term. His opponents, gullible, began to appoint the contenders ... A rancher from Coahuila, Francisco I. Madero González, gave an exhaustive day to promote themselves. More than a year to tighten their hands on tour was enough to found the National Party Antirreleccionista. President Diaz, always attentive to its future rival sympathies aroused in the masses, finally breaking his promise and ran again as a candidate, but not before ordering the capture and imprisonment of Madero on a charge of sedition made. Madero was imprisoned when simulation conducted elections, obviously the dictator was re-elected. The cynical staging exacerbated the minds of those who hope to overthrow the corrupt regime, therefore, when Madero managed to escape and enact the Plan de San Luis, the masses responded promptly to his call and took up arms. Occurred on November 20, 1910, the date considered the beginning of the Revolution. Of the excel consequential revolts led by Francisco Villa in Chihuahua and Emiliano Zapata in Morelos.
New insurrections, plus the victories of the rebels in strategic regions, finally paid off and made an old Porfirio Díaz surrender in May 1911. He and his family embarked on 31 en route to France, where the dictator would die in peace four years later. There
not finish it all ... (By that I mentioned that Diaz is the trigger for the explosive brawl but not complete). After a brief internship at the presidency, held new elections, which won Francisco I. Madero. Despite the apparent success, continued social unrest because the new president seemed to forget that most levied on "the ball" were motivated by a burning desire for a better life ... and that this dream had failed to see the light at the sound end of the dictatorship. EMILIANO ZAPATA
Emiliano Zapata Salazar
is the revolutionary leader par excellence. It was brave farmer who responded without hesitation to the cries of release of the most humble. During the process took a deep meaning to the notion of freedom to the oppressed, put it into practice making the extent of their means. Issue is that in areas dominated by their hosts organized residents in cooperatives to promote projects intestines [i]. Zapata did not seek power, which proved to discard personal encumbrarmiento opportunities by the authorities that helped to consolidate, seeking only an agrarian reform to alleviate the shortage justice of farmers, their ideal was so solid in her walk even fought against those who had been his allies if they, grown for victory, trampling their own principles. Zapata enlightened ideals are embodied in the Plan of Ayala.
Zapata fought for Madero. Once enthroned he, the farmer said he must give rise to the peasant cause manifested in the third point of the Plan de San Luis, getting no positive response, resumed their struggle. Did not fight alone, other groups, such as Pascual Orozco, shared their mission. Huerta
Madero's government had an overwhelming opposition not only from the Zapatistas: the opposite sector in the economic and social scale, the bourgeoisie, that stratum he had found an unbeatable parapet Porfirio Diaz, it was now under scrutiny, at the end, the indecision of Madero, not set out to support the popular cause or that of the affluent, was between two waters sooner or later ended up drowning. A military veteran Victoriano Huerta, Felix Diaz, nephew of the recently-deposed dictator and U.S. ambassador Henry Lane organized the overthrow of Francisco I. Madero [iv] which took place in 1913. It is important to note that U.S. interference occurred because the capitalist sectors of the country were uneasy with the unstable situation in their huge investments in Mexico. Viewed with dislike the arrival of any government that might interrupt the liberal policies sponsored by the porphyria. That helped to energize the labor movement in the troubled Unidos.Consumado the coup, Madero and Vice President Pino Suarez were killed in an incident known as the Ten Tragic, Victoriano Huerta took his turn in the presidential chair. Huerta's government was not very different from Diaz, came to the rich, the poor despised ...
The country that had supported and even beset the military uprising that exalted Huerta, years later turned against him and pressed him to resign. In the spring of 1914, the U.S. intervention took off his mask, U.S. soldiers raided the port of Veracruz. FRANCISCO VILLA
Villa had joined the armies to face the tyranny of Diaz. When Madero took power, Villa somehow felt that the goal of their struggle had been achieved and aligned to the presidency, as such, once the president was assassinated and his place taken by assault, Villa did not hesitate to return to take up arms to oust } { http://www.wordreference.com/definicion/defenestrar the usurper. In 1914, Zapata and Villa met to create the Plan of Xochimilco, an agreement in which they swore to overthrow the tyrant, in addition, but not least, agreed to support each other in the effort to realize the agrarian ideal that they shared.
At the same time, the governor of Coahuila, Venustiano Carranza, he ordered his loyalists to join the fight against their federal colleagues.
The motley antihuertistas joining forces defeated after a year of fierce combat, the tyrant was the need to seek shelter in exile to escape with his life from his bitter experience as a usurper. CARRANZA VENUSTIANO
With the government
decapitated, the various revolutionary currents fought each other in search of empowering a man akin to his own beliefs. Carranza was the one who finally took over as President. The Zapatistas, wearied by the battles just fought, decided to make a truce with the government break the power took the advantage to concentrate on Villa's troops scatter.
Carranza realized the danger to a government involving the popular uprisings, so he designed the formation of an equally popular opposition force and mass, which consummated in 1915 by signing a pact with labor unions which would emerge later Battalions Red [i] [v]. While the military (General Alvaro Obregon, the future president, counted among them) reduced the rebels, Carranza promulgated the 1917 Constitution, which contains fundamental to the consolidation of the Republic. The Consitución issued considers the expropriation of land to large landowners, control of wages, regulation of working conditions and the establishment of state secularism. While covering basic points, fell short in terms of Agrarian Reform, which is why Zapata disagreed and again contemplated the possibility of armed insurrection. Villa weakened, the government broke its agreement with Zapata and began to chase him. At one point the mandated realize the remarkable talent of Zapata to hide in the rugged geography that makes it unattainable is when they decide to lend a daring trap: a simulated military revolt against the government. Emiliano Zapata, is hoping the possibility of finding another partner, and make an appointment with the alleged rebel, but not before asking a proof of his aversion to government is satisfied with the shooting of federal troops fifty. Because the appointment was scheduled. Zapata just above the place agreed when it was received to death by those loyal to Carranza. His lifeless body lay on the dusty floor. The betrayal came in 1919.
The indomitable Francisco Villa had a similar end. Álvaro Obregón, who had climbed to the presidency after the fall of Carranza, he feared that the Centaur of the North back to arms, which would complicate its hold on power since it was having a difficult time for the uprising of new enemies , the Huerta. In 1923, Doroteo Arango was ambushed and shot to death by a gang of thugs. EPILOGUE
Some authors assert that the murder of Villa is the time period of the Mexican Revolution ends his story, others that it was the proclamation of the Constitution of 1917; others, who was making of Álvaro Obregón power and the realization of peace efforts known as the Plan de Agua Prieta. The truth is that there is no true consensus on what the end point of the story can be. Another certainty is that the conflict had serious costs-some tragic, another expensive, "died almost half the workforce and the nation had to borrow to stand [i].
From my point of view, the Revolution remains in suspense, as currently observed many of the vices of power whose eradication was the cause of our revolutionary leaders.
As evidence are:
- The huge gap between the opulence of a capitalist and misery of the masses [2]
- Only 18% of the inhabitants of Mexico have enough income to cover all their basic needs [3]
- 1 out of 2 Mexicans are poor [4] Poverty as
- sling at least 18 million Mexicans who do not eat enough [5]
- The 3 million children are forced to work [6]
- The 115 thousand children exploited by child prostitution rings [7]
- The abuse of farm workers, like those suffered in the Porfiriato [8]
- criminal marginalization of many indigenous [9] [10], die of curable diseases and their expectations of living are lower than those of individuals in the city
- official privileges the privileged sectors alone [11]
- Government corruption, in its most extreme cases, generate such impunity that little weight that the faults are committed terrible [12] [13]
- Hits labor sector [14] [15] [16]
- The brutal repression of popular movements [17] [18] [19] [20]
And the Massacre of Aguas Blancas.
and the repression of the movement of the APPO.
and disdain for the cause of the Zapatista army and war to its members. And so
reasons ...
In Mexico, there is no way to deny it, the bad governments remain intact.
Notes:
- "According to the census of 1910, the year before the start of the revolution, the country had 840 farmers, 411 096 people classified as farmers and laborers about 3,096,827 and the population total to about 15 million people. Of these, 80 100, ie, about 12 million depend on agricultural wages ". [Iii]
