You and your animation team have come so far and have changed style so much. It just shows how this channel has become so much better and its just horrible that UA-cam demonetize videos that are explaining and showing history.
"Diaz ended despotic rule and banned reelection and even stepped down at the end of his term." Man this Diaz guy sounds great. Why would Mexicans want to overthrow him? "A few years later, Diaz broke his own ban on reelection and arrested all journalists who reported negatively on him" Ah, that's why.
Diaz is proof that even a dictatorship under a capable leader can be beneficial. Heck, after all this time, a lot of Mexico still use the infrastructure of the Porfiriato, goes to show how little the post-revolution politicians accomplished.
There were a couple of labor strikes during Diaz's rule that were very bloodily suppressed, by the federal police under his control as well. So not the best of guys.
The fact the 4 revolutionaries were destinated to fight each other at the end is something I see as a massive tragedy, but here, every single one of them is remembered as national heroes, thank you for this video, november 20th will soon arrive
@@mexcore14 When he was made a governor for a period of I think it was 30 days he did a lot of good, he also fought to liberate Mexico from Huerta, that alone is enough to consider him a hero, people from the US hate him for his raid but we don't praise him for that, we praise him for what's worth remembering and the role he played

Then they go to Murica blaming them for their failures while boasting how they are more willing to do hard work like they are the exception without realizing every immigrant before and now do the same thing. Viva Mexico Cabrones, no other country on Earth that I know of uses a curse word openly as a way to boast themselves. The real Mexican failure is in its mediocrity.
From a fellow Mexican Historian, to the American Armchair Historian, I thank you so much and so deeply for presenting this video in honor of the 113th anniversary of our Mexican Revolution. 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!
As a Brazilian I have a deep respect for Mexico and its people. It was in Mexico that Roberto Gómez Bolaños, one of the greatest comedy legend of all time was born and he gave the world the marvels that are Chavo del ocho and El Chapulín Colorado. Mexico has everything it takes to be one of the world powers and i hope our two nations can work and grow together. 🇲🇽🇧🇷
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.
@@iantheduellist I agree with everything you said about China and Russia and I believe the same thing about the importance of defending democracy and human rights. Edit: I fixed my comment to be better.
Why would Mexico hinder relations with their number one trading partner in the US? Having a respect for a country culturally is different than trying to align economies together.

My Great Great grandfathers and his brothers fought alongside Emiliano Zapata. My Great Grandmother ( my grandmother's mom) told us stories of her father and her uncles.

Unfortunately there isn't one (in fact this type of production is very rare here), but there is a Diaz tenenovela called "The Flight of the Eagle" that tells the story of Diaz's childhood until his exile and death in France although it is old ( from the 90s) .
There's been quite a few TV series about the conflict but they're pretty average, nothing really special. But I do agree maybe a modern production with a bigger budget would be interesting.
Actually, Villa lost the battle of Celaya against Obregon in part because an American gun merchant who sold him the ammunition he used in the battle had been bribed by Obregon and sold Villa bullets with just a third of the gunpowder they normally had (his soldiers would complain that their ammo was so weak they could see their bullets strike the ground a few yards after they fired their rifles and pistols); so one of Villa's aims when he attacked Columbus was to kill this gun merchant (he was in another town visiting the dentist when the raid took placr so he survived).
I’m a huge fan of all the ways that you and the team are bringing creativity to your animation style. This video and the conquistador video embody not only historical excellence, but also artistic prowess. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Amazing! Can you do the Philippine Revolution / Philippine-American War next? It's a similar story with many parallels of factions within factions and great powers doing back dealings with each other.
Me da mucho gustó que estas cobrando la historia de un conflicto desconocido por la mayoria del mundo. Como alguien con raices en Morelos, me da mucho emocion ver nuestra heroe, Emiliano Zapata en tu video. Para que dios te bendiga y regala exito en todas tis esfuerzas 🙏

For quite some time I was waiting for someone to upload a high-quality video on this topic, since as a Hispanic who is not from Mexico, it is difficult to understand it beyond its popular figures like Emiliano Zapata. Changing the subject, it would be great if you talked one day about the War of the Pacific between Chile, Bolivia and Peru; or the Thousand Days' War, which was a civil war that spread through Colombia and my country Panama (which ended up separating from Colombia a year after the end of that war), with the intervention of liberal soldiers from Venezuela, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, as well as the United States.
Zapata didn't want power, he knew he was not capable of governing, he fought for the people and wanted desperately needed social reforms. He was truly a man of the people.
My ancestors took part in this and the Cristero War after. My ancestor was Poncho Villa’s right hand man, a brigadier general for free Division del Norte and met Jack Reed when he was in Mexico
Hey my great grandmother's younger brothers were kidnapped, at gunpoint by villa himself and forced to fight. Boys no older then 16. They all were killed because of villa. He was a gangster and bandolero, nothing more. If I were you guys, I wouldn't be spouting my pride for my ancestors who did monstrous things.
2:05 finally a foreign channel...recognizing that everything during the porfiriato of porfirio diaz was not so bad for mexico. thanks brother from mexico
I wished you had talked about each of the big 4 more in depth. Especially Pancho Villa. Villa was the one who made the most difference in the life’s of people. As Governor of Chihuahua, he implemented various social policies. Built schools, infrastructure, lowered the price of meat and corn, and even printed his own currency with his name on it, that banks in the United States accepted at face value! What other revolutionary in history can you name that has done the same? Still, I enjoyed the video very much!
This is so nice and well done, mexican history is so interesting and full of heroism and great men along centuries, and this video depicts in an original style one of the most important and misunderstood pages of Mexican history.
I really had a difficulty understanding Mexico's history from the death of the Mexican Habsburg emperor to WWII, Mexican Revolution most especially. I hope you also cover the Cristero Wars, which immediately follow this period. Your video really helped me! Great work!
Thank you for covering The Mexican Revolution. It was one of the most important revolutions of the 1910s. I planned to write a Revisionist Western Comic set during the Mexican Revolution.
I so glad you finally touched on the Mexican revolution and the mess it was. I hope you make more content about Mexico and the rest of Latin America in the future.
If you guys want a more in depth telling of the Mexican revolution check out Mike Duncan’s revolutions podcast season 9. You can start on episode 4 for the beginning of the porfiriato, episode 6 for the election of 1910, episode 8 for when the revolution was proclaimed by Madero, episode 14 when Madero was overthrown with the next episode’s topic being the second phase of the Mexican revolution.
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.
As a Mexican American, I wanna say thank you for covering topic relating to Mexican history!! And I’m looking forward for you to cover up more!!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
As a mexican from the state of sonora (the state with the roots of mexican revolution) thank you, its a compliment that you made this video, thank you.
Professor Johnson, did you know that an American journalist named John Kenneth Turner traveled to Mexico and talked about the horrible things about the Díaz dictatorship? He even expressed his dismay at the Haciendas, which he even compared to the black slavery camps during the American Civil War because it was a system of local slavery so that workers continued to owe their debtor and continued working for generations due to the hereditary nature of those debts.
According to that author, It was way worse than the black slavery. The americans kept those slaves alive for as much as they could. In Mexico, a lot of slaves only lasted one year before perishing, as it was more profitable to get more slaves than keep healthy the ones you already had
@@VoxHispania nmme primo. Los americanos son los que apoyaban el régimen de Díaz, lo mantuvieron en el poder y apoyaron la contrarrevolucion. Estas no son teorías, son hechos fácilmente comprobables, que sentido tiene que las condiciones en las haciendas hayan sido exageradas por la propaganda americana cuando se la pasaban encubriendo el régimen y encarcelando a opositores de este incluso en el suelo americano? Váyase a dormir mejor alch
@@C-Farsene_5 People like to do that in the internet. Don't listen to him it doesn't make sense. It is a great contradiction when you take into account the stubborn support the American government gave to Porfirio Diaz. They went so far as to jail and punish Mexican politicians (not even revolutionaries) that were seeking political asylum in their country, then they blockaded the country during the revolution and supported the counterevolution that happened with el maldito cirroso de Victoriano Huerta
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!!! 🇨🇺❤️🇲🇽
Isn't there like the Ten Years War, the Little War, and the Spanish-American War? Which makes it more than 3? Not to mention the rebellion of Hatuey against the conquistadors.
I remember learning about it briefly for world history. I was talking to my dad about it and when I mentioned Porfirio Diaz, He was like,”Oh he was a bad guy”. My history book didn’t really go in depth in that period, there’s only so much time to cover everything. He was born in Mexico and I thought it was interesting to see our perspectives on that.
This is hands down the best and most engaging recount of the endless twists and turns of the Mexican Revolution I have ever found. My AP Comparative Government and AP World History students surely appreciate it as well.

It would be great that you you would make a video of the Mexican American War of 1846-1848, a forgotten conflict but extremely decisive for the future of both nations.
Great video, I didn't expect all of this to he happeng in Mexico at the same time of WW1. I was wondering if you could do a video about italian unification, maybe about the expedition of the 1000
As a Mexican History nerd I do need to clarify a BIG thing that you oversimplified. And that is that there was an interrim president in between Díaz and Madero. This interrim president was a Porfiriista (a man of Díaz' government). Zapata didn't rebel against Madero but against this Interrim president who then sabotaged peace talks between Madero and Zapata.
My friend Al Gonzales 1st Marine Division in Korea great uncle was a Mexican general likely during the Revolution of 1910-1920, He was driving an Amtank in the Korean War with the 1st Amphibous Tractor Battalion against Chinese forces in 1951-1953
This upload of the Mexican Revolution was indeed needed & I'm blown away by all of in fighting & 15:17 their constitution that inspired Germany & The Soviet Union's own constitution😮.
Thank you for bringing light to this foggy subject, I've always wondered what happened with Mexico after it's war with America...I never truly understood poncho Villa's motives or anything else from this period
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.
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.
Finally glad to see something of high quality regarding this war. Have plenty of relatives who laid their lives under Zapata, sometimes i wonder if it was for nothing...
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.

Unfortunately there isn't one (in fact this type of production is very rare here), but there is a Diaz tenenovela called "The Flight of the Eagle" that tells the story of Diaz's childhood until his exile and death in France although it is old ( from the 90s) .
@macielguzmanjosericardo7245 there's one call El encanto del Aguila
@@CogitoErgoSumFortis things like that is that I always that an American will *NEVER* be close to the mental toughness of a Mexican
There's been quite a few TV series about the conflict but they're pretty average, nothing really special. But I do agree maybe a modern production with a bigger budget would be interesting.
Actually, Villa lost the battle of Celaya against Obregon in part because an American gun merchant who sold him the ammunition he used in the battle had been bribed by Obregon and sold Villa bullets with just a third of the gunpowder they normally had (his soldiers would complain that their ammo was so weak they could see their bullets strike the ground a few yards after they fired their rifles and pistols); so one of Villa's aims when he attacked Columbus was to kill this gun merchant (he was in another town visiting the dentist when the raid took placr so he survived).
This conflict always took my interest, glad to see Griffin make a video on it! 🤔😃
FINALLY, I'VE BEEN WAITING A MEXICO VIDEO FOR YEARS, Thanks so so much
I’m a huge fan of all the ways that you and the team are bringing creativity to your animation style. This video and the conquistador video embody not only historical excellence, but also artistic prowess. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Someone said it best:
"We have a better story than Game of Thrones in the Mexican Revolution"
Amazing! Can you do the Philippine Revolution / Philippine-American War next? It's a similar story with many parallels of factions within factions and great powers doing back dealings with each other.
The animations in this video are incredible. Amazing content by you and your team.
Me da mucho gustó que estas cobrando la historia de un conflicto desconocido por la mayoria del mundo. Como alguien con raices en Morelos, me da mucho emocion ver nuestra heroe, Emiliano Zapata en tu video. Para que dios te bendiga y regala exito en todas tis esfuerzas 🙏
For quite some time I was waiting for someone to upload a high-quality video on this topic, since as a Hispanic who is not from Mexico, it is difficult to understand it beyond its popular figures like Emiliano Zapata. Changing the subject, it would be great if you talked one day about the War of the Pacific between Chile, Bolivia and Peru; or the Thousand Days' War, which was a civil war that spread through Colombia and my country Panama (which ended up separating from Colombia a year after the end of that war), with the intervention of liberal soldiers from Venezuela, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, as well as the United States.
I love your ‘obscure’ history episodes, events liked these are often overshadowed by larger ones (like ww1)
Zapata didn't want power, he knew he was not capable of governing, he fought for the people and wanted desperately needed social reforms. He was truly a man of the people.
Viva Zapata ! Viva Villa!
My ancestors took part in this and the Cristero War after. My ancestor was Poncho Villa’s right hand man, a brigadier general for free Division del Norte and met Jack Reed when he was in Mexico
Hey friend. I'm related to Villa myself. Hope you're doing well
Hey my great grandmother's younger brothers were kidnapped, at gunpoint by villa himself and forced to fight. Boys no older then 16. They all were killed because of villa. He was a gangster and bandolero, nothing more. If I were you guys, I wouldn't be spouting my pride for my ancestors who did monstrous things.
"Poncho"? I thought it was Pancho. Poncho is a thing to wear.🤔
Hey my great uncle was with pancho villa to , my family is from chihuahua
Villa was a gangster. His men killed my great grandfather. They did no good
I love the Roadrunner tribute and am very appreciative of a piece of Mexico’s history completely overlooked by any of my school teachers.
2:05 finally a foreign channel...recognizing that everything during the porfiriato of porfirio diaz was not so bad for mexico. thanks brother from mexico
I wonder why usa NEVER had a dictator or a traitor
@@jjjhnmj but why they NEVER had a traitor like we did in Mexico ?
@@jjjhnmj yeah why America don’t have other civil war after 1865 ?.
Neither was Mexico's monarch. They were pointless revolutions
@@josem588they basically did on January 6th 2020 I think it was
I wished you had talked about each of the big 4 more in depth. Especially Pancho Villa. Villa was the one who made the most difference in the life’s of people. As Governor of Chihuahua, he implemented various social policies. Built schools, infrastructure, lowered the price of meat and corn, and even printed his own currency with his name on it, that banks in the United States accepted at face value! What other revolutionary in history can you name that has done the same? Still, I enjoyed the video very much!
Ataturk did
Pancho Villa is my ancestor. So I feel the same haha.
@@SamLJackpancho villa is the ancestor to a lot of north mexicans. When i was young i thought this was cool. But now not so much.
I own a newspaper headlining villa invading america.
@@SamLJacklol I am also related, but not directly
Love it, you should definitely do a video on the Cyprus War also!!! Btw you guys are the best history channel in my opinion!
This is so nice and well done, mexican history is so interesting and full of heroism and great men along centuries, and this video depicts in an original style one of the most important and misunderstood pages of Mexican history.
I really had a difficulty understanding Mexico's history from the death of the Mexican Habsburg emperor to WWII, Mexican Revolution most especially. I hope you also cover the Cristero Wars, which immediately follow this period. Your video really helped me! Great work!
So glad you’re covering such an interesting topic
Thank you for covering The Mexican Revolution. It was one of the most important revolutions of the 1910s. I planned to write a Revisionist Western Comic set during the Mexican Revolution.
Zapata is history’s most interesting communard - change my mind.
Any progress man?
I so glad you finally touched on the Mexican revolution and the mess it was. I hope you make more content about Mexico and the rest of Latin America in the future.
Thank you for this. Such a succinct way of explaining a very complicated period of my country's history. Loved the animation too.
If you guys want a more in depth telling of the Mexican revolution check out Mike Duncan’s revolutions podcast season 9. You can start on episode 4 for the beginning of the porfiriato, episode 6 for the election of 1910, episode 8 for when the revolution was proclaimed by Madero, episode 14 when Madero was overthrown with the next episode’s topic being the second phase of the Mexican revolution.
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.
Glad to see you guys covering the Mexican revolution
As a Mexican American, I wanna say thank you for covering topic relating to Mexican history!! And I’m looking forward for you to cover up more!!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
As a mexican from the state of sonora (the state with the roots of mexican revolution) thank you, its a compliment that you made this video, thank you.
Professor Johnson, did you know that an American journalist named John Kenneth Turner traveled to Mexico and talked about the horrible things about the Díaz dictatorship? He even expressed his dismay at the Haciendas, which he even compared to the black slavery camps during the American Civil War because it was a system of local slavery so that workers continued to owe their debtor and continued working for generations due to the hereditary nature of those debts.
According to that author, It was way worse than the black slavery. The americans kept those slaves alive for as much as they could. In Mexico, a lot of slaves only lasted one year before perishing, as it was more profitable to get more slaves than keep healthy the ones you already had
American propaganda
@@VoxHispania you’re calling the memoirs of most folks in the lower class mexicans and the press as american propaganda?
@@VoxHispania nmme primo. Los americanos son los que apoyaban el régimen de Díaz, lo mantuvieron en el poder y apoyaron la contrarrevolucion. Estas no son teorías, son hechos fácilmente comprobables, que sentido tiene que las condiciones en las haciendas hayan sido exageradas por la propaganda americana cuando se la pasaban encubriendo el régimen y encarcelando a opositores de este incluso en el suelo americano? Váyase a dormir mejor alch
@@C-Farsene_5 People like to do that in the internet. Don't listen to him it doesn't make sense. It is a great contradiction when you take into account the stubborn support the American government gave to Porfirio Diaz. They went so far as to jail and punish Mexican politicians (not even revolutionaries) that were seeking political asylum in their country, then they blockaded the country during the revolution and supported the counterevolution that happened with el maldito cirroso de Victoriano Huerta
Amazing job condensing one decade of revolution and civil war in a fifteen minute video! Also loved the thumbnail!
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!!! 🇨🇺❤️🇲🇽
Isn't there like the Ten Years War, the Little War, and the Spanish-American War? Which makes it more than 3?
Not to mention the rebellion of Hatuey against the conquistadors.
Glad you made an episode about my dear country!
Ah, Mexico a great and powerful country with military, culture, and people. Mexico will always suprise me with its beauty of nature
I'm in Jalisco now and man, is it beautiful. Stunning, in fact.
Sinaloa too
This might be one of my favorite videos you've done. The conclusion was especially poignant :3
I love when a english-speaking person says Spanish words in English like "Zapata" or "Díaz"
I remember learning about it briefly for world history. I was talking to my dad about it and when I mentioned Porfirio Diaz, He was like,”Oh he was a bad guy”. My history book didn’t really go in depth in that period, there’s only so much time to cover everything. He was born in Mexico and I thought it was interesting to see our perspectives on that.
I appreciate the non news worthy historical content. I hope to see more of these videos.
This is hands down the best and most engaging recount of the endless twists and turns of the Mexican Revolution I have ever found. My AP Comparative Government and AP World History students surely appreciate it as well.
Mexico 🇲🇽
Real af
You should also cover the help of México during ww2
they were useless ngl
@@mightbejordxnel escuadrón 201 que peleó en Filipinas en tan solo unos meses logro acabar con 30,000 japoneses aceptando misiones que sus pilotos no aceptaban por miedo ya que eran muy riesgosas mientras que nuestros pilotos las aceptaban sin importar lo peligrosas que fueran
@@mightbejordxn more useless than you will be in life? I think not...
@@MrKevin-wu8rebut seriously, they did nothing on the real front. Stop being patriotic and just realize that Mexico did barely anything in it
@@MrKevin-wu8rethe Mexicans didn’t even have proper tanks, even the Italians were better LMAO
It would be great that you you would make a video of the Mexican American War of 1846-1848, a forgotten conflict but extremely decisive for the future of both nations.
Great video, I didn't expect all of this to he happeng in Mexico at the same time of WW1.
I was wondering if you could do a video about italian unification, maybe about the expedition of the 1000
As a Mexican History nerd I do need to clarify a BIG thing that you oversimplified. And that is that there was an interrim president in between Díaz and Madero. This interrim president was a Porfiriista (a man of Díaz' government). Zapata didn't rebel against Madero but against this Interrim president who then sabotaged peace talks between Madero and Zapata.
Thank you very much for covering this!!! Love your videos
Muchas gracias!
Loving the new yet classic animation
My friend Al Gonzales 1st Marine Division in Korea great uncle was a Mexican general likely during the Revolution of 1910-1920, He was driving an Amtank in the Korean War with the 1st Amphibous Tractor Battalion against Chinese forces in 1951-1953
I love this channel keep up the AMAZING HISTORICAL CONTENT I can’t wait for the Rhodesia video to drop
Excelente video, diste información verídica y detallada de principio a fin, gracias.
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
You deserve all respect! You are the 1st american I hear speak so accurate about Mexican History, Congrats!
Finally an Armchair Historian video with Mexico !!!
I've heard of these guys, but never really understood their significance. Thanks for sorting it out in such a short time.
If anyone wants to hear more about the Mexican Revolution I wholeheartedly recommend the Revolutions Podcast
Muchas gracias por contar parte de nuestra historia ❤ Me encanta la calidad de la animación y el buen resumen de ese suceso ❤
Thanks for giving quality content
Pancho Villa leading Pershing on a wild goose chase would be an awesome movie. Good for Villa.
This upload of the Mexican Revolution was indeed needed & I'm blown away by all of in fighting & 15:17 their constitution that inspired Germany & The Soviet Union's own constitution😮.
Thank you for bringing light to this foggy subject, I've always wondered what happened with Mexico after it's war with America...I never truly understood poncho Villa's motives or anything else from this period
Love learning about countries not in Europe love Mexico from Poland
Great video Griff. Always get asked what was going on in Mexico during WWI this a great summary of those events.
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.
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.
0:03 Its been chaos since day one
As a Mexican, I can tell you that's very true 😅
It's always good to get a external view of history like this video, very well done. Saludos desde México
Underneath all of the violence and bloodshed is a country with a rich history and culture. Easily one of my favorite vacation destinations.
yet another amazing video
Why when gringos say "economy flourished" in another country they always mean "they gave us carte blanche to sack their resources"?
Mexicans are Victims ?
Finally glad to see something of high quality regarding this war. Have plenty of relatives who laid their lives under Zapata, sometimes i wonder if it was for nothing...
The mexican revolution, one of the few revolutions of the early 20th century that succeed and its reforms keeps living to this day
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.
Thank you for making a video about my people and my history ❤
