At first the Mexican government encouraged more Americans to settle there, but the Mexican government was not very stable and conflicts arose . In 1836, Texans decided to rebel and set up their own Texas Republic. When Mexico sent in troops the Texans turned to the US for help and the US recognized the independence of Texas. Soon Texas applied for statehood and was accepted. There were disputes over where the Texas border was and meanwhile ,ore and more Americans moved into California and conflicts arose there. In due time war broke out between Mexico and the US and Mexico was soundly defeated . In 1852, the US bought a strip of land for a railroad (the Gadsden purchase. Things settled down and relation were mostly peaceful until Pancho Villa provoked trouble in the next century.
