Very cool photo postcard from c. 1910 that depicts a partially destroyed monument in Mexico during the Mexican revolution, which began in 1910.  Period inscription on the verso reads "Behing (sic) this monument there was five Mexicans with a machine gun and three inch killed the five and disfigured the monument - MGW."  I assume the 3 inch was a mortar of some type, possibly the scene is in Mexico City itself.  Anyway, very cool.  Condition looks pretty good, some soiling as with most used cards, please examine the photos.  Buyer to pay shipping - good luck!

The Mexican Revolution (Spanish: Revolución mexicana), also known as the Mexican Civil War (Spanish: guerra civil mexicana), was a major armed struggle, lasting roughly from 1910 to 1920, that radically transformed Mexican culture and government. Although recent research has focused on local and regional aspects of the Revolution, it was a genuinely national revolution. Its outbreak in 1910 resulted from the failure of the 35-year-long regime of Porfirio Díaz to find a managed solution to the presidential succession. This meant there was a political crisis among competing elites and the opportunity for agrarian insurrection. Wealthy landowner Francisco I. Madero challenged Díaz in the 1910 presidential election, and following the rigged results, revolted under the Plan of San Luis Potosí. Armed conflict ousted Díaz from power; a new election was held in 1911, bringing Madero to the presidency.
