The whole mexican revolution is a bit complex, at least for me. During the election of 1910, Francisco I. Madero was jailed and Porfirio Díaz was declared winner of the elections. The vigilance in Madero’s imprisionment was quite relaxed and Madero escaped without problems, he issued his Plan de San Luis Potosí from San Antonio, Texas, declared the elections null and called for a revolution in November 20th, Díaz was overthrown in a few months and went to France where he died, Madero took the Mexican presidency.\n\nThe real revolts started AFTER Madero took power as president. Zapata wasn’t happy with Madero’s performance and announced his Plan the Ayala, his idea was to take the land from the rich and give it to the poor, the civil war started. Madero was betrayed by his commander in chief Victoriano Huerta (a conspiracy with US Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson) and was killed. Huerta was declared President, Venustiano Carranza, the Coahuila State Governor, didn’t recognize Huerta and declared war, to that side joined Pancho Villa, Álvaro Obregón and Emiliano Zapata, Huerta escaped to Spain, when he tried to come back, he was arrested in the US and died in jail. Venustiano Carranza became president, but Zapata and Villa fought him (a lot of changing sides, huh?), he was elected president again in 1917 and made the Constitution of 1917 (which is the present Constitution of México).\n\nCarranza killed Zapata in 1919, Álvaro Obregón and Plutarco Elías Calles raised against Carranza (another side change) and killed Carranza in 1920, new elections were celebrated and Obregón was declared president. At that point there were still scattered battlers, according to some records, some people didn’t even know why or who they were fighting. Since the new Constitution declared the full separation of church and state, including in education, a new war started in 1926, the so called “Guerra Cristera”, which was basically a war between Catholic Church supporters and the laic government. This war ended around 1929.\n\nSo, for some, the revolution ended in 1920, with Carranza’s dead. For others it ended with la Guerra Cristera in 1929, for others it ended with Cárdenas taking power as president in 1934 and ultimately, for others, the revolution hasn’t ended yet.

40 Marine NCO's were involved in the battle for Chatulpetec Castle along with greater numbers of US Army against 750 Mexican  soldiers and 250 military cadets as young as 13, A myth evolved as to a Red Stripe Marine NCO's have on their "Dress Blue" trousers; supposedly commemorating the Marine NCO's bloody fight there. \n\nDuring the battle, six Mexican military cadets refused to fall back when General Bravo finally ordered retreat, and fought to the death against superior U.S. forces. One by one they fell, fighting for their country; when one was left (Juan Escutia), and the US forces about to kill him, he grabbed the Mexican flag, wrapped it around himself and jumped off the castle point.\n\nAn aide to Mexican Commanding General Santa Anna's  witnessing the mass Mexican Army's retreat exclaimed, "God is a Yankee"!\n\nAfterwards the Marines were ordered to guard the Halls of Montezuma ~ Thus "The Marine Hymn"

It's the date noted that Mexico declared it's independence from Spain... which technically occurred on September 15, 1810 but took the Mexican soldiers another 11 years to kick out the Spanish, French and English troops occupying Mexico.\n\nInterestingly enough, the major force of opposition was actually the French with the English and Spaniards quickly making deals and leaving.

The US invaded Mexico in the 19th century and carried off six Mexican states, giving Mexico $2 million compensation.\nI would say the motivation was the same, a massive land/resources grab. Fortunately, Mexico regained control of its oil and mining in the 1930s.\n\nThe US–Mexican War was a military conflict fought between the United States and Mexico in the years 1846 to 1848, in the wake of the U.S. annexation of Texas in 1845. Mexico had always refused to recognize the loss of Texas in 1836 and announced its intention to take back what it considered a rebel province. In the United States, the war was a partisan issue, supported by most Democrats and opposed by most Whigs. Popular belief in the Manifest Destiny of the United States ultimately translated into public support for the war. In Mexico, the war was considered a matter of national pride.

Hey thewanderer862004.  I think you need to read up on American history.  The US did attack and capture Mexico City, but we gave it back because it was 2 weeks after the end of the Mexican-American war in 1848.\n\nHowever, The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed on February 2, 1848, ended the war and gave the U.S control of Texas, California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

Wasn't that the next mexican conquest after the Alamo?  The battle cry "Remember the Alamo" is incomplete. It is "Remember the Alamo, remember Goliad" I recall the mexican army had captured 400 or so texians and executed them there. Outnumbered, they surrendered expecting to be treated as prisoners.

20 more years and Mexicans will finish the invasion. Learn Spanish now, people.. you'll need it to fight for the few jobs Mexicans won't want to do.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not the Mexican Independence holiday(that is in September).  It is celebrated because that day marked the defeat of French forces against the Mexican Army.

The Spanish-American war was NOT faught 1897-1900. It was fought in 1898-- it lasted 3 months. America won the Phillipines as part of the war treaty. America ruled there until 1946 when the islands were granted independence.
