| Resumo: | This article analyzes the perspective of the Mexican press on the Mexican-American War through a selection of texts published during the Porfiriato, half a century after the conclusion of this armed conflict. The investigation sought to characterize newspapers as valuable sources on the subject and examine the trends in their content concerning the war. The findings are that the publications aligned with the positions identified in previous historiographical accounts, but were not confined to merely replicating them. Instead, these newspapers acted in accordance with their own political context. The contribution of this paper is the retrieval of commemorations and the utilization of history for political purposes, as well as the study of the press as a means to approach historiography. |
