Between 1910 and 1917, the Mexican Revolution evolved from a liberal movement into a comprehensive societal upheaval that included almost all levels of society. Discuss by using specific evidence.

Explanation:

The Mexican Revolution reached its zenith between 1910 and 1917. It was a tireless and violent struggle among different factions and groups that tried to end the 30 years dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz.

Porfirio Diaz was infamously known for his dictatorial policies who only favored the wealthy landowners and industrialists. As discontentment grew among the middle-class and lower class population, numerous figures and factions sprung up in an attempt to end his rule. In the north, Pascual Orozco and Pancho Villa mobilized an army against Diaz while Emiliano Zapata from the South started a war against the rich rural landowners.

After Porfirio Díaz's end in 1911, Francisco Madero became the President of Mexico. However, it was short-lived as Emiliano Zapata, from the South, turned against him. This was mainly because of Madero's incompetency to satisfy Zapata's reforms. There was an disarray among the revolutionaries because of conflicting ideas and interests in establishing their own set of ideal government.

Thus, the struggle to establish a government with contrasting motives by each factional leaders became prominent during this period. It caused a comprehensive societal upheaval that included almost all levels of society.
