Answer:

A few wealthy families owned most of the land.

Step-by-step explanation:

Porfirio Diaz was Mexican president for a total of 31 years before he was ousted from power during the Mexican revolution in 1911 by Francisco Madero. During his reign he favored foreign investors and wealthy allies which helped them in acquiring huge lands and leaving very little for the peasants to survive on. This subjugation of the peasants led to challenges from the peasants in later years before he was ousted from office in 1911 following the 1910 election in which he declared himself the winner.
