Second World War: Mexican Americans
built 606 days ago
The era of the Second World War was a social and political watershed for Newfoundland and Labrador. The military and economic impacts of the war were immediate, but the social and political consequences of these impacts were far-reaching. The Second World War accelerated the integration of many Newfoundlanders and Labradorians into the consumer values and economic expectations that dominated North American development. At the same time, the war weakened Britain, ending any prospect that it might long continue to support the Commission of Government. Peace in 1945 set the stage for Newfoundland and Labrador’s entry into Confederation.

The Korean War began in 1950, only five years after the end of World War II. The participation of Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans in the Korean War was so significant that the Department of Defense paid tribute to their contribution, explaining that "they served with distinction in all of the services. Many Mexican Americans from barrios in Los Angeles, San Antonio, Laredo, Phoenix, and Chicago saw fierce action in Korea. Fighting in almost every combat unit in Korea, they distinguished themselves through courage and bravery as they had in previous wars."
