    Mexican American War (1846-1848), ​My Mexican War

    A provisional government had been established at Queretaro, about 100 miles

    northwest of Mexico City, with a former chief of justice of Mexico's Supreme Court,

    Manuel de la Pena, as interim president while some states remained in rebellion against

    the central government and some, including monarchists, wanted to continue fighting

    the United States, but from Mexico, the United States won recognition as having Alto

    California, New Mexico and Texas to the Rio Grande. Mexico was agreeing to giving

    up a good percentage of its territory, and although the United States was virtually

    dictating the terms of the settlement it wanted to give Mexico something and agreed to

    pay 15 million dollars for damages, to assume responsibility for 3 million dollars in

    claims against Mexico by U.S. In the war, the United States lost 1,721 killed and

    11,550 deaths from other causes, mainly disease, and the war cost the federal

    government $100,000,000 in 1848 dollars.

    Mexican-American War, also called Mexican War, Spanish Guerra de 1847 or

    Guerra de Estados Unidos a Mexico was the war between the United States and Mexico

    (April 1846 February 1848) beginning from the United States' invasion of Texas in

    1845 and from a dispute over whether Texas ended at the Nueces River (Mexican
    claim) or the Rio Grande (U.S. In his quickly revised war message delivered to

    Congress on May 11, Polk claimed that Mexico had "invaded our territory and shed

    American blood on American soil." Following its original plan for the war, the United

    States sent its army from the Rio Grande, under Taylor, to invade the heart of Mexico

    while a second force, under Col. According to the treaty, which was subsequently

    ratified by both national congresses, Mexico ceded to the United States nearly all the

    Mid-May marks two key anniversaries in the conflict between the United States

    and Mexico that set in motion the Civil War and led to California, Texas, and eight

    other states joining the Union. On May 13, 1846, the United States Congress declared

    war on Mexico after a request from President James K. The conflict centered on the

    independent Republic of Texas, which opted to join the United States after establishing

    its independence from Mexico a decade earlier. Mexico considered the annexation of

    Texas as an act of war, and after border skirmishes, President Polk asked for the war

    declaration, since in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, only Congress can declare

    a war. The pact set a border between Texas and Mexico, and ceded California, Nevada,

    Utah, New Mexico, most of Arizona and Colorado, and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas,

    and Wyoming to the United States.
