The History of the Mexican Revolution

Despite the existence of Articles 27 and 123, workers and peasants in most places sunk back down materially to where they had been during the Porfiriato. So there's a lot of continuity, not a lot of it very good, but there is one bit of good continuity: Mexico remained independent and undistmembered. The big difference is hard to concretely articulate, but it's a very similar dynamic to what happened in France after the revolution there.
