Plate 78: La declaración de guerra al Eje, 1 de junio de 1942 (from the portfolio Estampas de la Revolución Mexicana)

Translation: Faced with the constant, ill-spirited, and threatening machinations of the Nazi enemy, Mexico adopted a clear and patriotic position by declaring war on the Axis Powers and preparing its citizens to be ready for battle. President Manuel Ávila Camacho was responsible for confronting this international crisis from which our country successfully emerged, safeguarding national honor.
