weird tourism poster, Mexico, 1940


Quite cryptic this one: a topless brown woman with a rather hostile expression raises her arms against a mountainous landscape with a steam train in it, proclaiming in English (so presumably aimed at Americans), "For the same victory!"

The same victory as what?  And what does sightseeing in Mexico have to do with it?  This was the first full year of WW2, but America wasn't in it until December 1941, and Mexico wasn't in it until 1942.
