How did wartime experiences change mexican-american life in california?

Since most war-associated job opportunities occurred in urban centers, there was a substantial migration of Mexican Americans to the cities in the decades of the 1940s and 1950s. There was also a huge evacuation of the population to the municipal centers. California had the major population increase, giving it a Mexican-American resident equal to that of Texas. One of the most somber events of discernment occurred during World War II in the Zoot-Suit Riots of Los Angeles. The instances received its name from the type of dress, known as a “zoot suit,” worn by most of young Mexican Americans during the 1940s. In the mid-summer of 1943, an argument between a Mexican American and an Anglo vented into widespread rebelling. Anglo affiliates of the armed forces were soon merged by civilians in a spree of attacking and whipping Mexican Americans wherever they were found. With the near end of the war and the coming back of troops from overseas, the railroad workers were obligatory to return to Mexico, but some Puerto Rico citizens decided to remain. Helping or working abroad or moving to a large city extended the distances of a peer group of Mexican Americans. They had sacrificed for their embraced country, they have begun to want and chase more of the American dream better jobs opportunities, better education, and an end to inequity, prejudice, racism, and discrimination. They wanted their full civil rights and they’re longing for that rights. Many decided to change the system in which they were nurtured and trained.

The condition of Mexico after the war turned into a bad country. But America always stands tall.

Mexico lost 1 million hectares of land including Texas after the war. Although they also received compensation worth 15 million US dollars from the United States government.

However, the United States is a young country whose economy continues to improve, always trying to expand its territory. Their territory which was originally only 13 states when independence was 1776 more than tripled to 51 countries in the 19th century.

While Mexico was the only country to gain independence in 1821, many experienced social and economic problems in the early stages of their country's life.

because they not only had to face the rebellion in Texas in 1835 and also against the United States in the war of 1846 - 1848.

However, they also have to deal with rebels on the Yucatan Peninsula and Indian groups. These national conditions and situations tend to make Mexico accept the U.S. challenge. to fight and defend their self-esteem by trying to defend their territory. U.S. defeat making Mexico a bankrupt country, experiencing economic collapse and the most conflict in religious and racial conflicts.
