Mexico

In 1937, Leon Trotsky leads a Trotskyist revolution in Mexico. He is successful despite heavy casualties between the Loyalists and Trotskyists, with around 500,000 deaths altogether. Trotsky then sets up a brand new government and changes Mexico’s flag. In 1938, his plans of nationalisation of agriculture lead to widespread famine in mexico, which was already food-deprived to begin with. With foreign aid from other nations however, Mexico stabilises its agriculture in 1943 and eventually has a stable supply of food for its population. In 1944 mexico begins its 5 year plan, this one not involving farmers moving to cities, instead promoting population growth within the cities instead of migrating to them. By 1950, industry has been nationalised although small businesses are allowed to operate freely. The military had rather unreliable equipment, as there was a policy of quantity over quality of equipment. Leon Trotsky died of a stroke in 1954, leading the party to have a Posadist-Trotskyist split, with the military being split in 2 ideologies. Eventually, in 1956 the country was forced into a 2 party system due to the threat of civil war. Elections happen every 6 years with Trotskyists usually winning. The country was relatively stable until the incompetence of Arnoldo Martínez Verdugo

led to Lázaro Cárdenas Batel overthrowing them and being the leader of Mexico until the next election.
