Historical background

MEXICO - REPUBLIC

(since 1911)

The Mexican Constitution was voted in 1917. The Revolution with the opposition of the revolutionaries Pancho Villa, Emiliano Zapata, Huerta and Carranza did not end until 1923. The reform policy lasted until 1940, the year Trotsky was assassinated in Mexico. Industrialization develops strongly from 1945 and around 1970, Mexico is part of the leading group of developing countries. In the 1980s, the economy suffered and several deflations were carried out. In 1992, Mexico signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada and the United States, which entered into force in 1994..
