| Description | Cartoon shows President Lázaro Cárdenas standing behind a large pile of oil drums (labeled "Mexican oil"), offering them for sale. In 1938, President Cárdenas nationalized the foreign oil companies. Many countries, including the United States and Great Britain, retaliated by boycotting Mexican oil, but the onset of World War II resulted in the abandonment of the boycotts and an agreement by Mexico to provide compensation. |
