Change and continuity over time in Mexico

        Mexico has been through a lot throughout in the twentieth century. Many things have changed throughout but others have remained constant. The twentieth century was huge in the development of Mexico. 

Throughout the twentieth century many things in Mexico have changed. The type of government, the leaders, and culture of Mexico have all changed throughout this century. The biggest factor in the changing of these things is the Mexican Revolution. It completely changed Mexico because it caused everyone to fight for what they believe in. This changed the culture of Mexico because different areas all fought for different things. The leaders and government also changed because of the Mexican Revolution. Many people were overthrown and it caused different governments to come into play. Mexico changed in many ways throughout the twentieth century because of the Mexican Revolution. 

A major thing that has always remained a constant is the land that Mexico owns. This has always been the same throughout the twentieth century. This always remained the same because Mexico never went out of its way to try to take over extra land and no  other countries went into Mexico and took land from them. The amount of land that belongs to Mexico has remained a constant throughout the twentieth century because they have not gone out of their way to get extra land and no other countries have tried to take over. 

Mexico has changed in many ways throughout the twentieth century but it has also remained the same in some ways. The twentieth century changed Mexico more than kept things constant. Mexico would be a very different country if the things that happened in the twentieth century did not happen. 

Mexican Revolution Did You Know Essay

        The Mexican Revolution started in 1910 and ended in 1920. This war helped bring a new leaders and a new government into power. It was a major revolution that really shaped the country of Mexico. 

        In 1910 the Mexican Revolution started with an uprising that Francisco I. Madero was leading. He started this revolution against autocrat Porfirio Diaz. As time went on the revolution changed from a revolt to a legitimate civil war. It is known as “the most important sociopolitical event in Mexico and one of the greatest upheavals of the 20th century.” 

In 1910 Francisco I. Madero said that he was going to be running against Diaz in the upcoming election. Diaz felt threatened by this and had Madero thrown in jail and then declared himself winner of the election. Madero escaped only after a little time spent in prison. He then wrote a “letter from jail” saying that Diaz had no right to do what he did, that it was illegal, and he decided to revolt against Diaz. He did not plan on it starting a major revolution but it motivated “disadvantaged Mexicans.” Many people were motivated by this and started to revolt even though they did not actually know Madero. Madero defeated the Mexican federal army eventually and on May 21, 1911 he signed the Treaty of Ciudad Juarez with Diaz. The treaty stated that Diaz would be replaced by Diaz and in the next election Madero won by a large amount. 

Madero lasted until 1913 but was known as a week leader and was taken over by general Huerta who turned his back on Madero. Madero was then killed one week later under orders of the next President Victoiano Huerta. Then in 1913 Venusiano Carranza formed a rebel army and called for war against Huerta and his people.  Carranza became the new president in 1914 after overthrowing Huerta’s government. He was driven out of Mexico City but gained support of many people and was elected president again in 1917. He developed the Constitutional Army to try to bring peace but was not able to stay in power long enough to take action and bring peace to Mexico. Carranza became known as a weak leader and was then killed in 1920. This was considered the end of the Mexican Revolution. 

The Mexican Revolution was a very serious war that changed the shape of Mexico. There is no way of knowing but without the revolution, Mexico might have stayed on the path of weak leaders and could have ended up a very weak and desolate country.

World War 1 poem

The Dead

          Rupert Brooke was born in 1887. He enlisted in the royal naval division during World War 1. He died at the height of the war when he was 27 in April on 1915. All throughout his life he wrote poems about the war. He saw little combat during the war. Many people believe that if he had survived the war he probably would not have written many more poems. He is now considered a war poet. 
          In his poem "The Dead" he talks about all the things that happened to victims during their lives. He speaks about how war has changed them and all of the things that have happened. This piece symbolizes how the war can affect people and also shows how soldiers see the departed. Rupert's experience from the war influences this piece because he was part of the war so he knew exactly how it was. This symbolizes how people think and feel about the war and also shows how the war affected people.

Latin American independence movements

French Revolution

The weakness of government came when the government leader started to do a poor job with the country. The country was going in the wrong detection and the people were not pleased. They could not handle serious problems and it caused the government to become very weak.

De Facto Government rose in France during the French Revolution when the people of the country were finally done with how the king was running the country and certain people came together and decided that they were going to rule the people. This meant that even though the king was technically in charge, the people were not listening and they were actually listening to the people of France that took over.

The counter revolution happened when the nobles and clergy, peasants, and neighboring states were all worried so the rebelled against the revolution happening. The neighboring states came in to try to keep the revolution from growing to their states. The nobles and clergy lost power in the old government and the peasants just followed the nobles and clergy and stayed by their side.

Splintering among all the revolutionaries occurred when people had been fighting the revolution. Now that they were succeeding though, the groups had their own ideas, policies and goals that would come out of the revolution. This caused them to splinter against each other and try to take each other out.

The country has been through a lot. It needs a new leader to step up and take control. Napoleon steps up for the country and takes over. The leader was necessary and usually has some sort of military background which Napoleon does.
