Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821. Almost a century later in 1910, a social revolution began. People struggled for economic progress and social justice. Huge, privately owned estates were seized by the government and divided among millions of landless farmers. A national school system was established; hospitals and housing projects were built. In the 1940's, government backed the development of manufacturing and industry and petroleum production.
