Mexican Revolution
Introduction
Human Rights
Human Rights played an important role in the Mexican Revolution. Porfirio Diaz used the Mexican farmers and workers by taking their money. The farmers and workers did not know what was going on, not until they read Madero's book. Madero's plan on causing a revolt to fight back Diaz. Madero was successful in doing so, but this led to bigger problems. This falls into Human Rights because the workers were treated poorly and hardly paid to work, This is considered inhumane and a violation to the workers.

Porfirio Diaz was the president of Mexico during the Mexican Revolution of 1910. His presidency played the main role of leadership as a cause for the revolution. Diaz was seen differently by the Mexican people. To some he was a great president, but to others he was a twisted dictator. As the Mexican president, Diaz executed many actions to corrupt Mexico. He sold off the natural resources in the country to make Mexico's economy rich. Although it worked, many of the lower classes were upset with Diaz.

“Mexican Revolution.” History.com. A&E Television Networks, n.d. Web. 22 Sep. 2015. <http://www.history.com/topics/mexican-revolution> This website helped me find names for guerrilla leaders. It did not give me much information on the Revolution itself and gave vague dates. Although, it did not have much information about the war, I trust this website because it is an official page of information and also has a television channel that displays informative shows.
"Feature Mexican Revolution." PBS. PBS, n.d. Web. 10 Nov. 2015.
<http://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/feature/mexican-revolution/> The origin of the website is from PBS.org. I think that this website is useful because, like History.com, it is known by television watchers as an informative source. The purpose in which this website was created was to give a slight insight of the Mexican Revolution. The value of this website is that it shows us a little bit of information on my topic. The limitation of this website is the lack of detail in its synopsis of the revolution.
