The revolution in Mexico that featured substantial increases in land rights for indigenous people was the Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910 and lasted through the 1920s. The revolution emerged in response to the longstanding oppression and inequality experienced by peasants and indigenous communities. Leaders like Emiliano Zapata advocated for land reform and the reclamation of land rights, famously encapsulating his movement with the slogan "Tierra y Libertad" (Land and Liberty). The revolution ultimately led to the redistribution of land and the establishment of ejidos, or communal land holdings, significantly improving rights and living conditions for many indigenous communities.
