November 20th is the day when the celebrations for the Mexican Revolution begin, a war that notably transformed the country.
The result was the definitive installation of a Republican and Federal
Government; the church was categorically split from the state; secular
education was provided free by the state; worker's rights were
gauranteed, indigenous communal property was re-established along with
communal farming and land was donated to the people.
The cost of the
revolution was a million deaths. The first Centenary anniversary of this battle will be celebrated on November 20th, 2010.
Should be a good party!
