Also it gives the information in a nice an organized way. This site also provides pictures and other sits if you not find it there. What I like about this site is the time line it starts from a good point so you know how it exactly started. Also when you open the site it gives you the major events. It told me that the revolution broke out in 1910. Here is a little peek at what it looks like.** T**he Mexican Revolution of 1910 begins in Puebla and Chihuahua. In Puebla, Aquiles Serdán fights from his house and is killed in action.** **30th of January 1911 Ricardo Flores Magón leads an uprising in Baja California and occupies Mexicali temporarily.** [] **Francisco I. Madero was a firm supporter of democracy and of making government subject to the strict limits of the law, and the success of Madero's movement made him a threat in the eyes of President Diaz. Shortly before the elections of 1910, Madero was apprehended in Monterrey and imprisoned in San Luis Potosi. Learning of Diaz's re-election, Madero fled to the United States in October of 1910. In exile, he issued the Plan of San Luis, a manifesto which declared that the elections had been a fraud and that he would not recognize Porfirio Diaz as the legitimate President of the Republic. Its good for if you want a little main facts about the Revolution.** [] **One young man opposed to the Díaz regime was Don Francisco I. Madero - a man 5'3", with a high pitched voice and from a family with great wealth. He was from of Coahuila - a state bordering** **Texas****. He had attended the University of California at Berkeley, where he had studied agriculture, and he had finished his education in France in 1895. From the age of twenty-one to the age of thirty-two Madero had been running his own cotton plantation, using advanced agricultural methods and helping to create a successful cotton industry in** **Coahuila****. I like this site because of the pacts and pictures that are in it.** [|http://www.mexon][|line.com/revolution.htm] **I like this site because it give good info on how Madero became president in 1918. Madero was elected president, but received opposition from Emiliano Zapata who didn't wish to wait for the orderly implementation of Madero's desired land reforms. In November of the same year Zapata denounced Madero as president and took the position for himself. He controlled the state of Morelos, where he chased out the estate owners and divided their lands to the peasants. Later, in 1919, Zapata was assassinated by Jesus Guajardo acting under orders from General Pablo Gonzalez.** [] **This site gives a more accurate** **Information and a see in the revolution because it actually gave a story on the whole revolution.** A new phase of the revolution began in February 1913, when Federal Army General Victoriano Huerta staged a coup d’etat and had the president murdered. Coahuila Governor Venustiano Carranza, a Madero supporter, reacted by denouncing Huerta, advocating a return to constitutional rule, and declaring himself first chief of the Constitutionalist army. He formed a loose alliance with former revolutionary leaders, such as Francisco ‘Pancho’ Villa, and fighting spread across the country. Hoping to hasten the fall of Huerta, the United States intervened in April 1914 by shelling and then occupying the Gulf port of Veracruz. That summer, offensives by the various revolutionary armies forced Huerta to flee the country, and Carranza’s main army, commanded by General Obregon, occupied Mexico City

The Mexican Revolution is the most famous revolution in Mexico. The revolution started in 1910 and ended in 1920. All this happened when Francisco Madero became president of Mexico. While Madero was in Texas he declared himself president and wrote a revolutionary document, La Plan de San Luise Potosi. This plan started a violent revolt on November 20th, 1910. The plan failed, but started other revolutionary groups to get together. Main group of leaders that were very strong were Emilio Zapata, Pancho Villa, and Pascual Orozco. These leaders began in Mexico's southern province of Morelos. These groups had about 5,000 solders each. On November 14th in Cuchillo Parado in the state of Chihuahua, Toribio Ortega and a small group of followers took up arms. In Chihuahua, Madero was able to persuade Pascual Orozco and Francisco Villa to Join the revolution. In March of 1911, Zapata led the uprising of the poor solders of Morelos to claim there rights over local land and water. Also Zapata accuses Madero of betraying the revolution. In 1912 Pancho Villa fights with Orozco's rebels in the north, first capturing and then loosing Parral. Pancho Villa joins Huerta. Madero field commander in north then sentenced Villa to be shot, but Madero had him imprisoned instead. In 1916 the conflicts between the followers of Zapata and Carranza shifts and begin the fights in Morelos. General John J. Pershing leads 10,000 American soldiers into Mexican territory in retaliation for a raid on Columbus, New Mexico by General Francisco Pancho Villa, Pershing chases Pancho Villa all around Northern states, In 1918 the Spanish influenza epidemic sweeps Mexico, killing thousands. General Gonzales takes his Camancista forces into Morelos and again occupies the cities, fighting with Zapata's forces. Which was decreased by the flu which took them to hiding in the mountains. later on in the year Carranza had Zapata assassinated at Chinameca. In 1920 Obregon is summoned to Mexico city by Carranza, to be killed, then rebels against Carranza. Who flees, and then assassinated in the state of Puebla, Obregon becomes President. In 1923 Pancho Villa was assassinated, after accepting the orders of Obregon to to have peace, his assassins were never punished. = = = = =**Tittle The Transcontinental Railroads, 1869**=

 * Brief history of how it came to exist:The typewriter took its place as a great invention in the 19th century. We till this day we still use the Qwerty keyborad. After World War II, the electric typewriter advanced in the office world, with the IBM 'golf ball' system as market leader (note that this system was basically invented by Blickensderfer in the 19th Century, and was perfected in the 1902 Blickensderfer Electric). Later still the electronic typewriter, the video writer and the word processor entered the market, pushing many producers of mechanical typewriters off the market.
