Answer: The crash of the stock market in 1929.

Context/details:

There was much speculative buying on the stock market in "the Roaring '20s," as the decade was known. In the 1920s, people were so eager to invest and earn profits through the stock market that they bought stocks "on margin." In other words, they paid for only a marginal percentage of the stocks with their own funds, and borrowed bank funds for the rest of the purchase. That meant the banks were complicit in this arrangement too, by allowing those sorts of loans. By the late 1920s, 90% of the purchase price of stocks was being made with borrowed money. This inflated the market in a way that spiraled out of control, and in 1929 the market crashed. This was the event that initiated the Great Depression that took hold during the 1930s.

Despite the United States example, the Mexican independence revolution ended up in monarchy governed by a transplanted king or some other conservative european prince, that was also because the last rebel army was led by a former royalist and conservative.
The Mexican Revolution of 1909 had interference of the U.S. Marines supporting the revolutionaries and a wealthy landowner among them, this same landowner ignored the land reform (that was the motivation for the revolution) when he rose to power, was murdered and a General rose in his place.
