Abstract

During the World War II, the strengthening of national identity in Mexico reached one of its levels of greater awareness and development. In the face of the uncertain international scena-rio, the Mexican government launched, with the help of President Manuel Ávila Camacho, a strategic plan around national unity, the promotion of values such as freedom, justice or democracy and, in a very special, the stimulation of national fervor. Through the significance of the past, the ephemerides of the patriotic revolutionary calendar put themselves at the service not only of the reinforcement of national identity, but also of the legitimation of the institutions of the Mexican Revolution.
