Porfirio Díaz
Porfirio Díaz was a Mexican general and politician who served as President of Mexico for several terms between 1876 and 1911. His long rule, known as the Porfiriato, is characterized by significant modernization and economic development in Mexico, but also by widespread repression and the concentration of power. Díaz's legacy is complex, as he is both credited with bringing stability and criticized for his authoritarian governance, eventually leading to the Mexican Revolution.
