Biographical / Historical
Porfirio Diaz was born on September 15, 1830 in Oaxaca, Mexico to José Faustino Diaz and Petrona Morí. Porfirio Diaz joined
the National Guard during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and continued his military career through the War of the Reform
and the French Invasion of 1861-1867. Diaz was elected president of Mexico from 1876 to 1880. In 1884, he ran for the presidency
again and won the election, remaining president for 26 years until his resignation in 1911. Díaz contributed to modernizing
and industrializing Mexico by building an extensive railroad system that would connect Mexico City to Veracruz, increasing
the mobility of goods and people within the country. During his presidency, Díaz ruled as an authoritarian, which resulted
in his critics being imprisoned or eliminated. Diaz resigned in 1911, was exiled to France, and passed away on July 2, 1915,
in Paris.
