Answer:

America interference.

Step-by-step explanation:

President Diaz once said: "Poor Mexico..." The reason for him to state this quote was the interference of the United in Mexico politics and commerce. Many times the U.S. attacked and meddled in Mexico. The U.S. took Mexican territory and interrupted Mexican affairs until 1916. American investors owned property in Mexico and took great interest in it. The United States occupy the Mexican city of Veracruz in 1914.
