Mexico became the "mother of foreigners and the step mother of her own people " .
By !910 Mexico City had factories supplying many simple consumer needs, such as clothing, tools, glass, cement, paper, food, and beer by being able to manipulate the tariff and raise the import tariff enough to produce these products much cheaper. In order to highly produce agriculture, Diaz had to take land away from Indians and poor mestizos and the way he did this was through privatization of land, land companies privatized about 96 million acres of land. Due to privatization less than 2 percent of Mexico's people owned all their farmland. Privatization proved to be merely a system where millions of acres are transferred from the poorest to the riches Mexicans. .
Even though Mexico became integrated into the world's economy and became the United States main trading partner during Diaz's rule, this drive toward modernization didn't last long. The "peace and progress " was broken and exploded into a Revolution. The Mexican Revolution in 1911 left Diaz in exile and eventually led to his death in 1915. Diaz was seen as a dictator and wasn't liked by the Mexican people yet he didn't understand how his people didn't support him with his ideas and how his people could go against him. Most people in Mexico would agree that his program of modernization had something to do with the blow up of the Revolution in 1911 because most of the country's progress came at the expense of its own people. .
Mexico wasn't the only country that got engulfed with the desire to become modernized, Africa was in the line of sight for Europe as their next project for modernization. Menelik II was the leader of Ethiopia who had kept Ethiopia free from European control. Menelik had much success unifying and modernizing Ethiopia that he gained the title "the Lion of Africa " for defending his nation's independence. One way Menelik wanted to modernize and defend his nation was through guns and ammunition, and since European technology was fascinating to him he would come into contact with many Europeans that would help him with his plans for modernization.

One example of ethnic cleavage which can be traced directly to colonial foundations is that of the African/Asian (Indian) divide in Kenya and Uganda. Paul Vandenberg explains the racial privileges which the Asians enjoyed under British rule, leading to their concentration as a relatively successful ethnic group. As migrants flowed within the British empire, Asians who arrived in Kenya were given greater access to social, educational and capitalist opportunities by the colonials, as a result of higher 'racial' status (also Bennell 1982, p131). ...

Such events were the rising into power of the United States of America and the success of its Marshall Plan or the European Recovery Program which was an effort to rebuild Europe from the ravages of war.
