“He was helped by the so -called scientists, a group of technocrats who with rationality sought the country’s economic growth through an export primary economy. The latter was achieved, since growth rates reflected the good moment of the Mexican economy, however, this growth was socially unfair and inequitable, since the polarization of rich, poor and at the same time dominated oligarchs was increased.”(Herzog, Jesús Silva, 1995).
Porfirio Díaz dictatorship
In short, thanks to the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz that highlights the power of the country to rich exploitative people of the people, especially transforming the Mexican nation into a miserable, conformist people who make a living through the agricultural sector, the workers They were forced to perform their work for long working days for a few cents.

The 1910 Revolution was a great social convulsion, detonated by reasons such as injustice, economic inequality added to political unbalance in 30 years prevented posting for a peaceful life. In those days of humiliation, sadness and tragedy, Mexicans lived deeply aggrieved by a government unable to assume democracy in the nation, did not tolerate freedom of expression, the right to political participation the Mexican nation marks the general landscape in the country and without Any doubt is a reason to change the course and history of the Mexican nation by framing its principles and ideals based on democracy to what we can limit in the following appointment the manifestations and dissent come from the people, from the most affected people are Special the working class:
“There were no fundamental transformations of the structures of the State or classes. It also had a strong component of struggles and revolts that emerged from below, by the common people, especially by the peasantry.
