The Texas Revolution or Texas War of Independence was a military conflict between Mexico and settlers in the Texas portion of the Mexican state Coahuila y Tejas. The war lasted from October 2, 1835 to April 21, 1836. However, a war at sea between Mexico and Texas would continue into the 1840s. Animosity between the Mexican government and the American settlers in Texas (who were called Texians), as well as many Texas residents of Mexican ancestry, began with the Siete Leyes of 1835, when Mexican President and General Antonio López de Santa Anna abolished the Constitution of 1824 and proclaimed a new anti-federalist constitution in its place.
The new laws were unpopular throughout Mexico, leading to violence in several states. War began in Texas on October 2, 1835, with the Battle of Gonzales. Early Texian successes at La Bahia and San Antonio were soon met with crushing defeat at the same locations a few months later. The war ended at the Battle of San Jacinto where General Sam Houston led the Texian Army to victory over a portion of the Mexican Army under Santa Anna, who was captured shortly after the battle. The conclusion of the war resulted in the creation of the Republic of Texas in 1836.

Independence from Mexico
Most of the major battles were in present day Mexico.
One revolution the French Revolution inspired was the Latin Revolutions such as the ones in Haiti and Mexico.
It started on the Mexico-Texas border as part of clashes between Texan and Mexican troops on a no-man's-land, but quickly escalated after the US declared war on Mexico on May 13, 1846. Most battles were fought in northern Mexico and its territories, such as California, New Mexico and Nuevo Leon. It wasn't going well for Americans, until General Winfield Scott opened a new war front on eastern Mexico, by landing on the port of Veracruz, on the Gulf of Mexico in March 9, 1847. He advanced into central Mexico by fighting several battles on cities like Tuxpan, Perote, and Puebla; then finally entering Mexico City and defeating its forces in September 15, 1847. There was an important guerrilla fighting on cities such as San Jose del Cabo and chihuahua until February 2, 1848 when the Guadalupe-Hidalgo Treaty was signed, thus ending the war.
