About the Mexican-American War
The Mexican-American War (1846–1848) was fought between the United States and Mexico following the U.S. annexation of Texas and disputes over its southern boundary. U.S. forces invaded Mexico and occupied its capital, and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo transferred extensive northern Mexican territories to the United States.
Geography of the Mexican-American War
Fighting began in the disputed region between the Nueces River and the Rio Grande and spread into northern and central Mexico. U.S. campaigns also occupied New Mexico and California, then Mexican territories, while another army landed at Veracruz and marched inland to Mexico City. Deserts, mountain passes, long supply routes, and Gulf ports shaped these widely separated campaigns. The war transformed the borderlands of the present-day southwestern United States and northern Mexico.
