Mexico - Guadalajara - The Monumento a los Ninos Heroes
The Monumento a los Ninos Heroes (Monument to the Boy Heroes) commemorates the 1847 battle between the United States and Mexico at Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City. Chapultepec Castle was a military school and home; it was unable to withstand the battle waged by the U.S. forces. During the course of the fighting, in which Mexico was defeated, one general and six young cadets lost their lives in defense of their country. Legend has it that when just one cadet remained, he wrapped himself with the Mexican flag and leaped from the tower to protect the flag from capture. Date: circa 1950s
