Property intervention in Southern Baja California during the Mexican Revolution: its impact on economy

Abstract

he present paper seeks to explain the impact of the Mexican Revolution
on the economy of the Southern District of Baja California, concerning
the intervention and use of property accumulated by the revolutionary
groups. It will be pointed out that it did not extend all the
way along the District, neither did it reach all economic sectors, and it
responded to political and business payments. Exempt from property
control were those owners who stayed in a relatively marginal position
in the ight for power, as well as those who showed willingness to support
the military faction that dominated the region.
