Mexican nationalism has its roots in the earliest days of the revolution. As battles were being lost against the Spanish, the seeds of the national identity of Mexico were already being sown. Eventually that spirit would be consolidated and confirmed by the expulsion of Emperor Maximilian, and the various conflicts with the hungry neighbor to the north.

Mexico’s spirit combines patriotism with nobility of soul, and independence with social responsibilty.  These difficult days make mportance of patirotism and commitment even clearer to the nation, as more and more problems require the iron will of a nation for successful resolution.
