∙ 8y agoMexico severed diplomatic ties to the United States, and started a low-intensity conflict along the US-Mexico border, which actually, was ill defined -- Americans believed the border to be the Rio Grande River, while Mexicans thought it was the Nueces River, several miles to the north.
This resulted in skirmishes between Mexicans and Americans, resulting in American blood spilled in this no man's land. This was used by president Polk as a casus belli to start the war. He however, was uninterested in Texas: he wanted to "acquire" California from Mexico at any cost.

Texas had fought a war with Mexico and won. They declared Texas to be an independent country. Texas later applied to become part of the United States.

James Knox Polk campaigned to make Texas part of the United States but it was done before Polk became president. Mexico did protest and the United States invaded Mexico. In addition to Texas, America took land for Arizona, California, and Nex Mexico.
