Can some one please help me with this topic?

Okay guys there is this guy on this art site I am a part of and visit called Deviantart, while I was looking through the Second World War archive, I found this art piece by him here: Browsing deviantART

According to him and the comments below, it was the US that was destoying the ships that brought Mexico into the war, not Germany. He say's they did it to force Mexico to join the war. Um what? I am confused can someone provide the truth on this subject?

 

Speaketh indeed danke! ;D

 

I was putting this together as OP was posting, it would seem to me that the site you linked to was pretty badly mis-informed for one reason or the other.

In 1940, Mexico elected conservative PRI (Revolutionary Party) candidate Manuel Ávila Camacho. From the start of his term, he decided to stick with the United States. Many of his fellow Mexicans disapproved of his support for their traditional foe to the north and at first they railed against Ávila, but when Germany invaded Russia, many Mexican communists began supporting the president.

In December of 1941, when Pearl Harbor was attacked, Mexico was one of the first countries to pledge support and aid, and they severed all diplomatic ties with the Axis powers. At a conference in Rio de Janeiro of Latin American foreign ministers in January of 1942, the Mexican delegation convinced many other countries to follow suit and break ties with the Axis powers.

Mexico had holding to a strict neutrality under Camacho’s predecessor (Cárdenas), and turned cool to Germany since the start of the war in 1939, and hostile after Pearl Harbor. After German submarines began attacking Mexican merchant ships and oil tankers, Mexico formally declared war on the Axis powers in May of 1942. The Mexican navy began actively engaging German vessels in the Gulf of Mexico, and Axis spies in the country were rounded up and arrested.

And be sure to see if you can find the "Inter-American" protocol which was signed in Rio in January of 1942, wherein most Western Hemisphere nations pledged mutual support against Axis aggression.

 

Thank guys! Quite the bit of info here I say, I think I am going to refer him to this site If he is not convinced.
