<P> The Mexican Revolution ( Spanish : Revolución Mexicana ) was a major armed struggle , c. 1910 -- 1920 , that radically transformed Mexican culture and government . Although recent research has focused on local and regional aspects of the Revolution , it was a `` genuinely national revolution '' . Its outbreak in 1910 resulted from the failure of the 35 - year - long regime of Porfirio Díaz to find a managed solution to the presidential succession . This meant there was a political crisis among competing elites and the opportunity for agrarian insurrection . Wealthy landowner Francisco I. Madero challenged Díaz in the 1910 presidential election , and following the rigged results , revolted under the Plan of San Luis Potosí . Armed conflict ousted Díaz from power and a new election was held in 1911 , bringing Madero to the presidency . </P>
