Mexico’s
Upheaval
nIn Latin America, the first of these
challenges occurred in Mexico.
nCalls for political and land reform,
education, and nationalism
led to the Mexican Revolution.
nSeveral key players, like Emiliano
Zapata, Pancho Villa, and
Victoriano Huerta battled for
control of the country,
eventually yielding to Alvaro
Obregon.
nThe constitution of 1917 made
promises of land reforms
(slow to materialize) and public
education (more successfully
met).
