Скачать или смотреть Mexico in World War II

Mexico was a member of the Allies in the Second World War, and even sent a squadron of planes to fight the Japanese in the Philippines. But there’s a great deal more to Mexico’s involvement in the conflict than that, and it’s a historical story that’s not very well known. In this video we’ll look deeply at the complicated context of 20th century Mexico, the reasons why Mexico joined World War II, what its leaders were trying to accomplish, and how the war changed Mexican society despite the country’s small contribution on the actual battlefronts.
