    The Mexican Revolution 1910-40

    This section focuses on the causes, course and impact of the Mexican Revolution that occurred in a country that had
    experienced a lengthy period of political stability and economic growth. The socio-economic composition of revolutionary
    leadership was varied, as were the aims. The revolution was prolonged and costly. The Constitution of 1917 has been
    described as the most progressive constitution created at this time in the region. It had significant influence on the political
    developments of the country and the area. The revolution impacted greatly on the arts, arguably representing the earliest
    and most enduring attempt to overcome racial divisions and incorporate the Indian heritage into the national identity.
