Mexico's Great Revolution

Benjamin demonstrates that the histories of the Mexican Revolution just after its end were diverse in perspective and demonstrated the many different causes, leaders, and types of revolution occurring in Mexico. The meaning and memories of the Revolution during the 1910s and 1920s illustrated how different revolutionary factions competed against each other, such as ZapataÆs initial opposition to Francisco Villa. Those who supported different factions of the Revolution (Zapata, Villa, Carranza, Obregon, etc.) offered unique version of the Revolution that served to reinforce their own particular ideology and counter that of their opponentsÆ perspective. The historical events and leaders were spoken for by historians and regimes that ômade arguments about recent events in particular ways to justify their actions, to condemn their enemies, to win converts, and to do much moreö (Benjamin, 2000, p. 14).
