As a Mexican, I share a deep respect for your nation of Brazil, its history and its culture. But when it comes to joining BRICS I have to disagree. I stand in complete opposition to the rather authoritarian governments of Russia but especially China. The Chinese government is quite oppressive to a diverse population and has a pretty nasty list of human rights violations, especially in its western regions. Then there is the simple matter of security. China supplies the Narcos with the ingredients to make powerful and addictive drugs, while the U.S. supplies the Narcos AND the Mexican police force with weapons. Not to mention that both the right and the left in the politics of the U.S. acknowledge that there is a problem in Mexico and want to do something about it, they just don't agree on how to solve the problem... The U.S. and NATO in my opinion is the lesser of two evils. Its not perfect, but at least its somewhat democratic.

Your video was so good and summarized pretty well the whole 10 years or so of civil war that was the revolution 1910 to 1920s. Whenever you have the chance, I strongly recommend you that you do a video about the Cristero Rebellion. That rebellion was fought as a consequence of the implementation of some of the most anti-clerical reforms implemented. Thanks again!

Whereas before the country was split with people being more loyal and identifying with their respective states and regions they then began to identify more so as Mexican.

I love the Roadrunner tribute and am very appreciative of a piece of Mexico’s history completely overlooked by any of my school teachers.

Mexico was a neutral country in World War I, which lasted from 1914 to 1918. The war broke out in Europe in August 1914 as the Mexican Revolution was in the midst of full-scale civil war between factions that had helped oust General Victoriano Huerta from the presidency earlier that year. The Constitutionalism Army of Venustiano Carranza under the generalship of Alvaro Obregón defeated the army of Pancho Villa in the Battle of Celaya in April 1915.

There were also a few battles along the US-Mexican border between US Troops and both Mexican regular troops and rebels as well as the occasional German.

Mexico is a failure. If you have to export ten percent of your population you have failed your people. Mexico has contributed almost zero to the world stage. The greatest accomplishment is the taco.

My grandparents are from Cuba, so Im super interested in historical rebellions and revolutions. I never knew about all this turmoil Mexico went through! Cuba only really had 1 (technically 2) rebellions, so I was shocked to learn that Mexico had like 4!!! 😂 Viva México Viva Cuba!!! 🇨🇺❤️🇲🇽

I’d love to see a video about the conflict that happened next. The Mexican president who assumed power in the 20s passed anti-catholic laws, and then was opposed by an armed revolt, called the Christeros. The movie “For Greater Glory” talked about this history.

The Revolution left a heritage of extreme violence that would last for decade and half, being the Cristero War the worst expression of the post-revolutionary violence, arguably the last great religious war of the western hemisphere, with hundreds of thousands of dead, and relatively as violent as the Mexican Revolution itself. But up until the Saturnino Cedillo revolt, Mexico suffered many coup attempts, and no revolutionary or military survivor of the Revolution was safe at all, and mexican literature for half of the century would reflect the extreme violence of the Revolutionary and post-revolucionary unstability. It's no strange that it is also said that the Revolution was actually a "Robolución" (Theftvolution). A little known fact of the Revolution is that up to half of the dead were by plagues of cholera and bubonic plague, and my hometown Veracruz suffered greatly. A good video overrall, but I understand not everything can be said in 15 minutes. The history of Mexico during 1910-1940 is that of extreme violence, uncertainty, betrayal, distrust, poverty, and religion.

Sidenote: Obrégon was killed for his persecution of catholics. During his reign he persecuted catholic's to the point that they started to fight back. From 1926 to 1929, the Cristero war would rage between federal troops and catholic fighters.

You should do a video on the Cristero Revolution that followed shortly after the Mexican Revolution and that occurred under Plutarco Elias Calles Campuzano. Also, this was a great video and a great job. It was concise and explained the roles of Porfirio Diaz, Madero, Zapata, Villa, Huerta, Carranza, Obregon and the like. It can get pretty confusing with so many actors but you nailed it.
