Mexican-American War
Shelf by nono umasy
The Mexican-American War, a pivotal conflict in the mid-19th century, was a significant chapter in North American history. It erupted in 1846 when territorial disputes and tensions over the annexation of Texas escalated into a full-scale war between the United States and Mexico. The war resulted in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, through which Mexico ceded nearly half its territory to the United States, including California, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Texas, forever altering the geopolitical landscape of North America. This conflict not only shaped the modern boundaries of the two nations but also had profound cultural and political ramifications, contributing to the sectional tensions that ultimately led to the American Civil War and leaving a lasting legacy on the region's history and identity.
