The Mexican Revolution was one of the few ones in the world, with specific reasons mainly social.
La revolución mexicana fue una de las pocas que hubo en el mundo, principalmente por razones sociales.

The Monument building was initially planned as the Federal Legislative Palace during the regime of Porfirio Díaz, but its construction stopped when the Revolution started. There was no money to finish this glorious project.
Inicialmente el edificio iba a ser el palacio federal legislativo, iniciando durante el régimen de Porfirio Díaz, sin embargo, la construcción se detuvo por la Revolución y el presupuesto se asignaba a otras partidas.
The Federal Legislative Palace that never was built.
The main part of the building, 60 meters high. Was going to be demolished.
Today the Monument holds the history of the Mexican Revolution along some painting replicas from authors of that time like Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco among others.
Hoy en día, en el monumento hay datos históricos de la Revolución mexicana, junto con réplicas de pintores y muralistas de la época como : Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco entre otros.
There is also a copy of the Zimmerman Telegram which was intercepted by the United Kingdom and it gave reasons for the United States to participate in the First World War. The telegram was a request from the Foreign Secretary of the German Empire, Arthur Zimmerman, to his ambassador in Mexico instructing him to make a proposal to make an alliance with Mexican Government to make a common front against the U.S.
También existe una copia del telegrama Zimmermann, el cual fue interceptado por el Reino Unido el cual dio motivos para que los Estados Unidos participaran en la primera guerra mundial. El telegrama fue una solicitud del Secretario de Asuntos Exteriores, Arthur Zimmermann a su embajador en México para que este hiciera una propuesta de alianza con México para formar un frente común contra los Estados Unidos.
Mexico denied the existence of such telegram, and that made leverage to make negotiations with the U.S. The rest is history.
México negó la existencia del telegrama mismo que le dio ventaja para hacer negociaciones con los Estados Unidos. El resto es historia.
