The immediate cause of the Mexican Revolution of 1910 was the widespread dissatisfaction with the long-ruling dictator, Porfirio Díaz, and his regime. Díaz had maintained power through repression, rigged elections, and favoritism towards foreign investors, leading to growing social and economic inequalities in Mexico. The final straw was when Díaz announced he would run for an eighth consecutive term as president, sparking widespread opposition and calls for his removal. This culminated in the outbreak of the revolution in 1910, with various groups and leaders joining forces to overthrow Díaz and bring about political, social, and economic reforms in Mexico.
