Analyze similarities and differences in land reforms resulting from the Mexican and Russian revolutions.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

We can say that the similarities and differences in land reforms resulting from the Mexican and Russian revolutions.

The Russian Revolution started as an idea of a political party that led the Russian people to take the weapons, while the Mexican Revolution was the sum of different revolutionary leaders who were tired of the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz, and the oppression of landlords that controlled vast portions of the Mexican territory. We are talking about leaders like Pancho Villa, Emiliano Zapata, Francisco I. Madero, Venustiano Carranza, among others.

After the Russian Revolution, the victorious Bolsheviks issued some legislation regarding land in Russia. Indeed, there were many decrees about the split and possession of the land. The main points of these decrees were that the land could not be sold or leased; the land was not for private purposes, and that there would be no compensation for the land confiscated.

In the case of the Mexican Revolution, the land that was in possession of wealthy landlords had to be restored to its original owners, the Native Mexican Indians, the farmers who worked the land. The new government had to give the titles and proper ownership to the farmers, and the public land in possession of the government had to be used for reconstruction purposes to help the Native Indians.
