What was Texas before it became a us state?
Texas was an independent country from the end of the Texas War for Independence from Mexico until 1845 when it became a state. The country was known as the Republic of Texas. Before that, it was a territory of Spain, France and Mexico. In 1861, Texas joined the Confederate States of America. So Texas has flown six flags over its territory: those of Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States of America, and the United States.

Spain still occupied a few strongholds after Mexico's independence was consummated in 1821, such as the San Juan de Ulua fortress, on the port city of Veracruz -- which didn't surrender to Mexican forces until 1825. Spain even tried to reconquer Mexico several times, between 1821 and 1829. All political and economic ties between Mexico and Spain became slowly severed due to Spain's reluctance to grant Mexico's independence, and by 1836 -- the year Spain finally recognized Mexico's independence -- Mexico was already alienated to Spain, while being involved with other conflicts, such as the Texas Revolution (1835-1836).
