The Mexican Revolution 1910-1920 severely disrupted the Mexican economy. Many of the gains that had been created under President Porfirio Diaz had been erased when he was removed from office. The labor force in Mexico had declined sharply in years to come. 1910-1921, the population of Mexico also witnessed a decline as about 360,000 people fled to the U.S. in search of work and to escape the chaos taking place during the revolution. The livestock was depleting severely as thousands of cattle were lost to rival militias. Coffee, sugarcane, and cotton went unharvested as many of the Mexican workers abandoned the fields to flee or fight, which resulted in the drop of agricultural output. Communications and rail transportation were also impacted which caused the distribution of perishable goods unreliable. Agricultural and manufacturing output declined, and black markets began to flourish in the major cities. The banking system in Mexico was shattered, public credit disappeared, and the currency was destroyed. The mining sector suffered huge losses, with gold production falling some, and silver and copper output each declined. Meanwhile, in America, the Silver and Copper business was flourishing. The southwestern part of the U.S. The new irrigation projects transformed the vast areas of once infertile lands into fertile ones and with this came a rise in large-scale agribusiness. Life in Mexico was not one many of the people were willing to stay behind and face. Many of the people fled to the U.S. in search of a better life, work, and opportunity which was presented to them during this time.
