So today is all about his rise to power, the Porfiriato, and quick downfall in 1911 ------------------------------------------------------------ See pinned comment and its replies for notes, responses, and errata *Bibliography* Ana Maria Alonso, _Thread of Blood: Colonialism, Revolution, and Gender on Mexico’s Northern Frontier_ (Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 1995). amzn.to/3r15heD Steven B.

There were tremendous economic, technological, social, and cultural changes during this period. As Díaz approached his 80th birthday in 1910, having been continuously elected since 1884, he still had not put in place a plan for his succession. The fraudulent 1910 elections are usually seen as the end of the Porfiriato. Violence broke out, Díaz was forced to resign and go into exile, and Mexico experienced a decade of regional civil war, the Mexican Revolution. ------------------------------------------------------------ Hashtags: #history #Porfiriato #PorfirioDiaz
