A colored rag borne above troops and hoisted on forts and ships. It appears to serve the same purpose as certain signs that one sees on vacant lots in London—‘Rubbish may be shot here.’” Ambrose Bierce2 The power of the flag as a national symbol was all too evident in the 1990s: the constitutional debate over flag burning in the United States; the violent removal of the communist seal from the Romanian flag; and the adoption of the former czarist flag by the Russian Federation. In the United States, Texas alone possesses a flag and seal directly descended from revolution and nationhood.

Or that the sport of rodeo is based on Mexico’s national sport, the charreada ? Did you know there are more different species of reptiles and lizards in Mexico than anywhere in the world? Or that every year giant gray whales swim thousands of miles from Alaska to mate in the warm waters off the western coast of Mexico? Here are some other things to know about this fascinating country. History Home to some of the world’s most highly developed early civilizations, Mexico’s known history began over 10,000 years ago when indigenous people populated the country. The Olmec were Mexico’s first complex organized society, appearing around 1200 BC in the southeastern region of the country. They were followed by the Maya, Toltec and Aztec cultures. In the early 1500s, the Spanish explorer Hernando Cortes conquered the Aztec capital of Tenochtilan and Mexico became a Spanish colony for 300 years. In 1821, Father Miguel Hidalgo wrote the “Grito de Dolores,” Mexico’s declaration of independence which ignited a decade long war with Spain resulting in Mexico’s establishment as an independent nation in 1821. Today, Mexico is a federal republic of 31 states, governed by a Constitution with free and open elections and separate legislative, executive and judicial branches of government.

    WAR FLAGS INTO PEACE FLAGS: THE RETURN OF CAPTURED MEXICAN BATTLE FLAGS DURING THE TRUMAN ADMINISTRATION by ETHAN M. ANDERSON B.A., South Dakota State University, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Charles W. Sanders, Jr. Copyright ETHAN M. ANDERSON 2010 Abstract On September 13, 1950, in a culmination of three years of efforts by organizations and individuals inside and outside the Harry S. Truman administration, 69 captured battle flags from the Mexican-American War were formally returned to the Mexican government at a ceremony in Mexico City. The events surrounding the return of flags to Mexico occurred in two distinct phases. The first was a small, secretive, and largely symbolic return of three flags conceived and carried out by high-ranking U.S. government officials in June 1947. The second large-scale, public return of the remaining flags in the custody of the War Department was initiated by the American Legion and enacted by the United States Congress. Despite their differences, both returns were heavily influenced by contemporary events, primarily the presidential election of 1948 and the escalation of the Cold War. Also, although the second return was much more extensive than the President originally intended, it was only through his full support that either return was accomplished. In the decades since 1950, historians have either ignored the return of Mexican battle flags or focused instead on Truman’s wreath laying at the monument to the niños héroes in Mexico City in March 1947.
