Lessons 6 and 7 discuss Mexico's history from the early 20th century onwards. Key events included the Carranza government facing political, economic and military crises after the revolution. The formation of the Institutional Revolutionary Party led to a single-party system that ruled Mexico from 1929 to 2000. During this period there was unrest such as the Cristero War and Cardenas temporarily exiled former leader Calles. Finally, the period from 1940-1970 was called the Mexican Miracle and saw sustained industrial growth and the formation of a modern industrialized nation, although this growth was based on a protected domestic market.
