Ten years. between 350,000-1 million died. There were three strands in the Revolution.

1. improving the hacendados and those against it

2. Village movement- free peasants

3. least clear cut, cowboys, miners, and other marginal people

It was Madero's strand that was the most successful (the first one). Villa and Zapata won at best partial victories. The Revolution broke up old political monopolies, great sociological change. However, the largest change were the popular attitudes (pg 403). Many great men involved.
