    "Diaz ended despotic rule and banned reelection and even stepped down at the end of his term." Man this Diaz guy sounds great. Why would Mexicans want to overthrow him? "A few years later, Diaz broke his own ban on reelection and arrested all journalists who reported negatively on him" Ah, that's why.
  • @ivanvladimir0435
    The fact the 4 revolutionaries were destinated to fight each other at the end is something I see as a massive tragedy, but here, every single one of them is remembered as national heroes, thank you for this video, november 20th will soon arrive
  • @migol1527
    Mexico's story is full of heroism, as country which has never seen peace in almost all its independent history. From the Spanish, Americans, French and Mexicans themselves. It'd be delightfully interesting to see videos about these conflicts in the future. My beloved Mexico 🇲🇽
  • @ProtoPurity
    Mexico may seem kinda irrelevant in world history but our history is full of sacrifice, blood and will 🇲🇽❤️‍🩹
  • @blindbicycle
    You and your animation team have come so far and have changed style so much. It just shows how this channel has become so much better and its just horrible that YouTube demonetize videos that are explaining and showing history.
  • @vitorpereira9515
    As a Brazilian I have a deep respect for Mexico and its people. It was in Mexico that Roberto Gómez Bolaños, one of the greatest comedy legend of all time was born and he gave the world the marvels that are Chavo del ocho and El Chapulín Colorado. Mexico has everything it takes to be one of the world powers and i hope our two nations can work and grow together. 🇲🇽🇧🇷

    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’m so glad you talk about the history of my country, foreigners often don’t realize how complex it is
  • 13:19 If you wonder where is the right hand of Obregon, he lost it in the Battle of Celaya against Pancho Villa
  • I just love Zapata outfit, as a Mexican, I am in love of the idea of a simple man becoming a Caudillo in order to oppose a tyrannical government and secure wealth and prosperity to its people, all at all in style
  • @JavierCR25
    Love to see the Mexican social achievements duly spoken of. Hopefully one day our Mexican brothers and sisters will enjoy a country without cartels and corruption.
  • My Great Great grandfathers and his brothers fought alongside Emiliano Zapata. My Great Grandmother ( my grandmother's mom) told us stories of her father and her uncles. Then for my grandfather so did both his grandparents. His grandparents met each other during battle. On my grandfathers side they were middle class so they were well off. But on my grandmother's side, they were poor, in the end they got what they wanted, land and peace.
  • @compatriot852
    Mexican history is one often overlooked on the global stage. Glad you did on video on it. My family was impacted a lot by the haciendas and revolution especially being from a much lower class
  • @ianbatres2044
    FINALLY, A MAJOR HISTORY CHANNEL COVERING THIS CONFLICT.
  • @Lazarus98849
    My ancestors took part in this and the Cristero War after. My ancestor was Poncho Villa’s right hand man, a brigadier general for free Division del Norte and met Jack Reed when he was in Mexico
