jan 1, 1917 - Day laborours wages rise

Description:

in 1917, after a strike, the day labourers' wages had risen to just 3 pesetas a day, against an average elsewhere of 10 pesetas. Even worse for the peasants, the landowners controlled local politics through a mixture of bribery and intimidation, in a system known as caciquismo.
