Porfirio Díaz
1830 CE–1915 CE · Mexico City
Porfirio Díaz (1830–1915) was a Mexican general and statesman who governed Mexico for most of the period between 1876 and 1911, an era known as the Porfiriato. His long tenure saw substantial economic modernization, including extensive railroad construction and foreign investment, alongside a strongly centralized government and limited political liberties. Discontent and disputed elections contributed to the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution, and Díaz resigned the presidency in 1911. He went into exile and died in Paris in 1915.
