HISTORY:
MEXICO - REPUBLIC
(after 1911)
The Mexican Constitution was voted in 1917. The Revolution — with the opposition of the revolutionaries Pancho Villa, Emilio Zapata, Huerta and Carranza — was not over until 1923. The reformist policy lasted until 1940, when Trotski was murdered in Mexico. The industrialization developed strongly as of 1945 and by 1970 Mexico was part of the head group of developing countries. During the 1980s, the economy went down and several deflations took place. In 1992, Mexico signed the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) together with Canada and the United States. It came into force in 1994.
