The Mexican Revolution 1910-1920 (Documentary)

The carrancistas defeated some U. S. troops in the battle of El Carrizal

Diaz resing after his army was defested un Ciudad Juárez, Torreón and Cuautla

My great grandfather, Gildardo Magaña taught Pancho Villa how to read when they were both imprisoned, he befriended him and then brokered the alliance between Zapata and Villa...he was Zapatas second man all along and took over the Zapatista movement when he was assassinated. We learned all this in the last decade and i as a history nerd have been living on cloud 9 ever since

It’s about 2 AM. Nothing better than an OG to do but watch OG content.

i like this channel so much i actually watch the in video ads!

Feb/19/1913

División del Norte beat the federal army and since then is our new Mexican Army, wich is incorporated into the SEDENA (Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional, or National Security Bureau). Commander? General de División Francisco Villa

You know nothing

Villa invade USA cause there was a jew that selled useless ammo, and we lost the battle of Celaya because of that. He thought that he was safe at USA soil xd

And, yes... US gov was supporting that guy, and US recognized Carranza as new MX president as well u in those days when Villa buy that ammo to tht guy.

Do you want the name? Of course yes! Is Sam Ravel, that guy, Sam Ravel.

What president asked that? Woodrow Wilson.


I BET THIS HISTORY IS FORBIDDEN IN USA

they are all so stylish

They couldn't sit down together and hash it all out like the Founding Fathers of America. Instead, the situation spiralled into chaos and anarchy.

My great grandfather fought along side Pancho Villa. My grandma still has photographs of both of them stand next to each other, rifles in hand

Villa fought war, revolution, terrorism, and was a bandit for years wanting to end the system of large landowners and supposedly to give it all back to the peasants. He finally retired with a pension from the taxpayers and 25,000 acre estate. Hmmmm.........

My wife's great grandfather had a hacienda there. Poncho Villa's men came and stole everything, money and food, leaving him and his family unable to feed their people. Everyone suffered while Villa and his men got fat and continued their terrorism across the area.

The craziest thing of all is that many believe that Mexico became independent from Spain to end privileges and an oppressive system, when in reality it was the other way around, the Cadiz Constitution (1812) was born to end the problems, it was then that the privileged made the independence, to maintain the status quo, this was maintained for almost 100 years, until the Mexican revolution.

Hello could you make a video about simko shkak revolt

Adolfo Gilly is the main writer cited throughout the report.
A communist of Trotskyist influence, he is not the best source for an impartial study of the history of Mexico.

Jesse, have you lost weight?

President Lazaro Cárdenas then came a few years later and said 'fck them anglo rights over oil' and expropriated petroleum. He's considered the final step to achieve the goals of the Revolution.

My bet is the US had something to do with the catholic assassin of the President of Mexico…

Great video. One item that I think is overlook often with regard to the Punitive Expedition is that the US mobilized all of the National Guard for duty on the border. This mobilization provided an early opportunity to shake the dead wood from the National Guard, and greatly sped up the mobilization process when the US entered WWI in April 1917. IIRC, there was one unit of the Texas National Guard that was demobilized from border duty on Friday, and re mobilized for WWI on the following Monday.

Very interesting once again.

“Peasants” why is it so hard for White European Americans to call Mexican native population “native Americans” or “Indians” or “Meso Americans”. They were native, wearing huaraches and most spoke a native dialect at home. As a matter of fact, Spanish in Mexico was not spoken at homes before the Revolution.
Look at the photos of the “peasants” shown here and I’ll be willing to bet you won’t find anyone looking like that in Europe. Smh

Excellent documentary. One thing also, as a Mexican-American, I appreciated the correct pronunciation of all the names and locations. Well done all around.

PANCHO VILLA y EMILIANO ZAPATA,
HEROES FOR EVER!!!

Thank you!

Thanks for yet another thorough and exciting episode guys!

Great video!! maybe you guys could ve mentioned the premeditated extermination of some indigenous groups by SLAVERY, such as the Yaquis from Sonora state, the situation was beyond our imagination... check out the texts from John K. Turner in his book México Bárbaro, its just appalling, Saludos!!

Mr Beet recomended this channel.

This "revolution" set us back 70 years..

Something interesting about the U.S invasion of Vera Cruz. A future admiral was sent in to help the troops. The troops were being taken out by snipers and sharp shooters. This fellow went out, waited to be shot at and returned fire. Taking out the shooter, he did this several times without being hit. He went on to win several Gold medals for sharp shooting in the Olympics. With his preference for accuracy and shooting. He eventually turned the U.S.S Washington into his own personal sniper rifle. Turning a Kongo class Battleship into a reef.

Nice video this is a topic I didn't know much about before.

Excellent episode.
Ground news, however, is not worth anything if it places BBC as a centrist news organization.

Why call it a revolution when it was, in fact, a bloody CIVIL WAR?

Bummer the Magonista / PLM participation wasnt even mentioned. But at least the Morelos Commune got a few seconds.

There is a hypothesis that the U.S. allowed Mexican troops loyal to Venustiano Carranza, Villa’s rival, to pass through American territory. This would have helped Carranza defeat Villa's forces. That could be a reason for Villa's response.

The amount of simping for Communism in this video is astounding.

I love Jesse Alexander's work but I must say that covering this period of Mexico's history without one word about the competing factions in the oil industry is a major omission.

The bandit wars caused the U.S. military to lease an airplane from a rich guy to run the first ever aerial reconnaissance mission in my hometown of Laredo, Texas on March 3 1911

What a real revolution looks like

A lot a fake information

Funny how stories in Latin America all ring the same, popular uprisings against dismal living conditions and oligarchy concentration of wealth put down by conservatives and US interventions. And people wonder how come is the most unequal region in the planet.

Another wonderful historical coverage episode shared by an amazing RTH channel ..thanks for sharing

In Mexico this has always happened, the poor always seek to harm themselves, with Porfirio Diaz we were better off and they overthrew him, funny that Diaz resigned 3 days in the beginnig of the conflict and that the subsequent battles and thousands of deaths were due to greed of a handful of murderers and criminals who wanted absolute power and the worst thing is that many worship them as idols, just what happens with the cartels... it's the same damn thing, over and over

the day they laid poor poncho low lefty split for ohio where he got the bread to go ain't nobody know

Presently reading, in Spanish, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Not gonna lie—all of this reads like the escapades of all the generals and colonels and corporals of the Buendia family. The betrayals, the victories, the defeats, the vendettas, the executions, the near executions, the hatred for the central government, the hatreds of the right against the left, and the left against the right. It’s all in this marvelous novel. And it’s all in the convoluted, windy history of the Mexican Revolution and civil war.

Some in Mexico say the Mexican Revolution is still being fought to this day.

What a wild decade ... guess, just a telenovela can be more twisted than this part of Mexican history 😉

Viva mi General Francisco Villa! 🇲🇽
