    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 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.

    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!

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.

    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.

    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).

    The Revolution also served to create a national identity for the country. 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. Where the government emphasized tracing the history of the people to start with the Aztecs and also making the mestizo as what tied everyone together. This is was later seen with Mexican artists such as Diego Rivera

    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.
