15893. THE PORFIRIATO. This paper discusses the reign of General Porfirio Diaz in Mexico between the years 1876 and 1910. His dictatorship resulted in certain economic benefits, but social inequalities also stirred great resentment among the Mexican people. This resentment, in turn, contributed to the conditions that gave rise to the Mexican Revolution of 1910. 8 pages; 24 footnotes; 6 bibliographic sources.
