Order and Progress: An Alternate History of Mexico


Foreword
Porfirio Diaz is a very polarizing figure in Mexican history. While it is undeniable that it was thanks to him Mexico rose from international laughingstock to one of the most powerful countries in North America, many correctly point out that he accomplished it at the price of national freedoms and the oppression of the poor.
If one looks at the history of the country before and after Diaz came to power, however, one can see the measures he took during his 28-year dictatorship are, at the very least, understandable.


(Hey everyone, welcome to my first TL! I started this and posted the first chapter a long time ago, but I pulled out to change the POD further back and work out some kinks. Please enjoy, and let me know what you think, if something needs to be changed and the like)
