About Manuel Ávila Camacho
- Manuel Ávila Camacho (Spanish pronunciation: [ma'nwel 'aßila ka'mat?o]; 24 April 1897 – 13 October 1955) was a Mexican politician and military leader who served as the President of Mexico from 1940 to 1946.
- Although he did participate in the Mexican Revolution and achieved a high rank, he came to the presidency of Mexico because of his direct connection to General Lázaro Cárdenas, as a right-hand man, serving as his Chief of his General Staff during the Mexican Revolution and afterwards.
- He was called affectionately by Mexicans "The Gentleman President" ("El Presidente Caballero").
- As president, he pursued "national policies of unity, adjustment, and moderation." His administration completed the transition from military to civilian leadership, ended confrontational anticlericalism, reversed the push for socialist education, and restored a working relationship with the U.S.
- during World War II.
