The Purposes And Ideals Of The Mexican Revolution

Dramatically, in front of an audience drawn from the American Academy of Political and Social Science and the Pennsylvania Arbitration and Peace Society, on Friday evening, November 10, 1916, Cabrera, Bonillas, Pani and Rojo gave addresses regarding the Mexican Revolution. The speeches were made during the height of the conflict, which lasted from 1910 until 1920. Since World War I was also raging, less attention was given to the Mexican Revolution. However, the Mexican Revolution radically transformed Mexico, after it had been under the rule of Porfirio Diaz for 35 years. The elected replacements, President Francisco I. Madero, and Vice President Pino Suarez, were assassinated after they were forced to resign in 1913. This particular little-known document offers a helpful perspective on the conflict and plans for an ideal future of Mexico by people who were in the thick of the fight for change. This edition is dedicated to Professor David Mena, longtime dedicated teacher and scholar in Mexico, and no stranger to the United States and Europe.
