After the revolution a [[socialism|socialist]] government was installed. [[Atheism|Atheist]] president [[Plutarco Elías Calles]] introduced various anti-Christian laws in the 1920's. The [[cristeros]] started a rebellion against the government to defend their religion. Calles also started the [[PRI]], a socialist party which ruled Mexico for the rest of the century. President [[Lázaro Cárdenas]] nationalized the country's [[oil]] in [[1938]]. Mexicans are still very proud of this but other countries believe that the Mexican government stole their property in Mexico. However, Mexico was lucky because the United States needed Mexico's help in [[World War II]], so the United States decided not to make a point of it. | After the revolution a [[socialism|socialist]] government was installed.
