The Mexican Revolution began on November 20, 1910 as an attempt to overthrow the rule of Mexican President Porfirio Diaz, who had been in power since 1877. Diaz stepped down and submitted to exile in 1911.
Fighting begins. The Texas Revolution began with the Battle of Gonzales on October 2, 1835, and ended with the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. There were, however, earlier clashes between Mexican forces and groups of colonists, so it is impossible to set dogmatic limits for the Revolution.
