Culture, art
& tradition."
One of the many historical moments of Mexico …
Mexico declared war on the Axis Powers in support of the
Allies on May 22, 1942, following losses of oil ships in the Gulf,
most notably the Potrero del Llano and the Faja de Oro, to
German submarine attacks.

Although most American countries eventually entered the war on


the Allies' side, Mexico and Brazil were the only Latin American
nations that sent troops to fight overseas during World War II.

Perhaps the most famous fighting unit in the Mexican military


was the Escuadrón 201, also known as the Aztec Eagles. This
group consisted of more than 300 volunteers, who trained in the
United States to fight against Imperial Japan. It was the first
Mexican military unit trained for overseas combat. With this, the
Aztec Eagles aside the American military freed the Philippines
from Japanese control.

In the civil arena, the Bracero Program gave the opportunity for
many thousands of Mexicans to work in the US in support of the
war effort. This also granted them an opportunity to gain US
citizenship by enlisting in the military.
