The document discusses the growing sectionalism between the northern and southern states in the United States leading up to the Civil War. It describes how the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 intensified tensions over the issue of slavery and whether new states would be slave states or free states. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 was the breaking point that led 11 southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America. While the northern and southern states had economic and cultural differences, the dividing issue was ultimately slavery and the balance of power in Congress.

Manifest Destiny was an aggressive imperialist movement that led to the forced removal of Native Americans from their lands, the expansion into Mexican territory which provoked the Mexican American War, and the war itself was based on faulty evidence provided by President Polk to justify American aggression. Over 40,000 Native Americans were forced to relocate to Indian territory between 1841-1849 as a result of American expansion. The Mexican American War broke out after the annexation of Texas, which Mexico still claimed, and American troops invaded parts of Mexico, capturing Mexico City and acquiring new territory through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

The Revolution involved many factions fighting for power over the next decade, including Francisco Madero, who first led the revolt against Díaz, and later Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa, who continued fighting for land reforms and democracy. The Revolution ultimately resulted in a new nationalist constitution in 1917 that established rights for workers and peasants.
November 20th School Lauro Aguirre
The Mexican Revolution began in 1910 due to widespread dissatisfaction with the long dictatorship of President Porfirio Díaz. Key revolutionary figures included Francisco Madero, who helped spark the revolution with his anti-reelection campaign, and Emiliano Zapata, who led a peasant uprising demanding land reform. Pancho Villa also played a pivotal role, first supporting Madero and then becoming a prominent general, gaining control of northern Mexico. However, internal divisions later emerged between Villa, Zapata, and Venustiano Carranza, who eventually consolidated power as president from 1917-1920 while suppressing the forces of Villa and Zapata.

28.4 turmoil and change in mexico
Political turmoil in Mexico was triggered by social and economic inequalities. Santa Anna switched sides on different issues as president from 1821-1829 and 1833. The growing Anglo-American population in Texas led to tensions with Mexico, resulting in the Texas Revolt in 1835 and the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto, leading to Texas independence. Mexico then lost the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 and was forced to cede territory in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Benito Juarez led the liberal Reform movement which increased rights for indigenous groups and the poor. France invaded Mexico under Napoleon III in the 1860s but withdrew, allowing Juarez to rebuild the country.
Francisco i madero
Francisco I. Madero was a Mexican politician, writer and revolutionary who served as President of Mexico from 1911 to 1913. He was born into a wealthy family in Mexico and studied in the U.S. Madero opposed the authoritarian regime of Porfirio Diaz but was jailed. After his release, he campaigned against Diaz and launched attacks in 1910-1911, becoming a leader of the Mexican Revolution. This led to Diaz's exile in 1911 and Madero becoming president. However, Madero proved ineffective as president and faced rebellions, leading to his forced resignation and assassination in 1913.

New mexico revolution powepoint
The document provides a summary of the key events of the Mexican Revolution from 1910 to 1920. It describes how Porfirio Diaz ruled Mexico as a dictator for over 30 years, oppressing the majority of Mexicans. In 1910, Francisco Madero led a revolt against Diaz after fraudulent elections. General Victoriano Huerta then overthrew Madero in 1913, establishing a military dictatorship. Growing resistance led by figures like Venustiano Carranza, Francisco Villa, and Emiliano Zapata eventually forced Huerta to resign. Carranza then assumed power and a new nationalist constitution was adopted in 1917. Key revolutionary leaders like Zapata and eventually Carranza were also killed in the ongoing political

Emiliano Zapata was a revolutionary leader during the Mexican Revolution who fought for land reform and rights for rural villagers. As a village leader himself, he saw the injustice of land being taken away. He initially supported Francisco Madero's revolution against Porfirio Diaz but later turned against Madero when he did not follow through on land reform. Zapata then led the Zapatistas revolutionary group according to his Plan de Ayala which called for land redistribution and denounced the governments of Diaz and Madero. The Zapatistas used guerilla tactics in their fight for their cause.

Hitler: The Birth of the Nazi Party
Here are potential responses to the questions:
1. Hyperinflation devastated German living standards according to charts 3 and 4. Wages rose but could not keep pace with skyrocketing prices, so real wages declined sharply.
2. Food costs rose faster than rent because food is a necessity that people need to buy regularly, while rent contracts were often fixed for longer periods, protecting landlords.
3. Chart 4 shows that during hyperinflation, Germans could no longer afford meat, fish, fruit and luxury foods. Staples like bread, potatoes and fat became the main diet.
4. Pensioners were devastated because their fixed pensions did not increase with inflation, so their buying power was rapidly er
The Spanish American War - Context
1) In the late 19th century, many Americans believed the US should expand its global influence and territory through imperialism. An influential editor said the US was "destined to exercise a controlling influence upon the actions of mankind."
2) Economic problems like the 1893 depression and a perceived "closing of the frontier" led many to support expansion as a solution. This included gaining new markets and resources through building a canal, expanding borders, or an "open door policy" of informal economic empire.
3) The Spanish-American War over Cuban independence provided an opportunity for expansion into territories like Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, despite the Teller Amendment barring annexation of Cuba.
US Mexican War
The US-Mexican War occurred between 1846-1848 after Americans moved into Texas in the 1820s and 1830s, Texas gained independence from Mexico in 1836, and the US annexed Texas in 1845, which Mexico did not recognize, leading to military conflict between the two countries over the border between Texas and northern Mexico.
The "Indian Wars"
Native Americans have faced a difficult struggle to embrace both their ethnic identities and mainstream American culture. While modern Native Americans are proud Americans who integrate aspects of their traditions and Christianity within capitalism, gaining this identity required overcoming a tragic and bloody history of conflicts with the U.S. government over land and sovereignty. These conflicts arose from the government seeking to expand its lands at the expense of Native territories, stop raiding between tribes, and force relocation of tribes resisting loss of independence.

Editor's Notes
- Photo: Young Diaz in 1867 Appointed himself president in 1876 in the instability following Juarez’s death Served one term under the no re-election policy, but after the corruption of the next president, Manuel Gonzalez, he was welcomed back into office. He then gave up on the no re-election policy and became the dictator that he had warned against. He bullied citizens and rigged votes to stay elected Neoliberalist Gains: factories, roads, dams, industries, and better farms. Huge influx of foreign capital. US had taken large parts of the land during the Mexican American war and signs of growing US ownership of land disenfranchised many Mexicans, especially the poor farmers who now need legal title to own and work the land. Freedom of the press and other civil liberties suspended. suspended.
- Madero didn’t so much want to destroy what Diaz had set up as much as he wanted the power to be shared among the elite. In exile, issued the Plan de San Luis Potosi which promised free suffrgae and no re-election and declared Diaz’ss presidency illegal. Vague promises at land reform helped gain support, but most supported him out of hatred of Diaz. Sparked by the letter (Plan de S.L.P.), rebellions in different parts of the country began springing up (Orozco and Villa on the TX border) and Diaz saw the writing on the wall. Elections were declared and Madero won easily. Weak Pres.: Madero failed to enact land reforms, better working conditions.
- Huerta was a general in Madero’s army. Dispatched to put down an uprising, he turned and staged a coup. With Henry Lane Wilson’s support Huerta assumed the presidency, Madero was killed. Woodrow Wilson was not happy. Villa and Zapata didn’t recognize Huerta and continued their struggle for land for the peasant farmers (which had been their cause all along). Huerta fled to Spain. Where he was supported by Germany with hopes of returning to Mexico and undermining the US WWI war effort.
- Carranza attempted to appeal to peasants to steal support from Villa and Zapata.
- “ The centaur of the North” Huerta had a hit out on him. Attacked New Mexico in hopes of sparking US action against Carranza. Plan backfired big-time, setting off a pursuit by US forces Gen. John (Pershing’s Punitive Expedition) that ended in frustration for the US. Signed a peace treaty with Obregon in 1920, killed when gunfire showered his car in 1923
- Called, “The Attila (alternately Tiger) of the South” Drew his support from peasant farmers, including women who assisted his revolutionary efforts. His name is used today by the EZLN – Zapatista Army of National Liberation
