Nothing. Texas split up on its own during the Texas Revolution (1835-1836), but was never recognized as an independent country by Mexico. When it was admitted to the United States in 1846, this move triggered the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). At the end of such war, Mexico was forced to recognize Texas independence and cease any attempt on retaking it. The amount "paid" -- in fact the amount just was deducted form Mexico's standing debt towards the United States -- was given just for the Mexican Cession, which officially included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, part of Colorado as well as most of northern New Mexico and Arizona.

How are Central America and Mexico's physical landforms similar?
Both act as a land bridge between North and South America, are crisscrossed by the Sierra Madre mountain range and have coasts on both the Pacific and Caribbean Sea. Also, both are the result of the interaction between the North American, Caribbean and Cocos tectonic plates. However, as Mexico is much larger than Central America, it has much more geographical features, including coasts in the Gulf of Mexico, more mountain ranges (Mexico has three of them) and a wider variety of terrains.
What has Mexico done in the past to protect the land?
Mexico has fought for the land that America has stold from Mexico. Mexico celled to the united states Texas and new Mexico for a really low prize. When Mexico discovered that Mexico had gold in California they decided to take the gold out. Because they didn't have the right equipment Mexico decided to make a convenience with America, America would help them get the gold out and Mexico will share a equal amount of gold for both states but America stoled gold from California whe Mexico didn't notice. Mexico fought with America for land and independence but Mexico won because they had a solder that was extremely trained his named was Pancho Villa, he had all Mexicans on his side so he fought and won alot of times. When the Americans decided that Pancho Villa was to much they decided to kill him. The Americans killed Pancho Villa in Mexico where they where hiding inside a house, they took gun and shoot him alot of times. Once Pancho villa was dead they decided to cut his head and bury his body. Theme.... Even if you dont think its true, it is look for it in history. Dont worry I didn't believe it ether but now I do.
