Mexico initially had no reasons to participate in World War II. However, it was finally involved in warfare because of its powerful northern neighbour and surprise German attacks on Mexican ships. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Mexico broke off diplomatic relations with Germany, Japan and Italy and entered into the war on the side of the Allies on 1 July 1942. Mexican aircraft pilots and sailors participated in warfare directly. In this article, you can see the most famous Mexican posters of the Second World War:
