The annexation of Texas caused Mexico to break off diplomatic relations. When that happens it usually doesn't take long for things to turn ugly. The border clash called the Thornton Affair was sufficient to push Congress into a Declaration of War.

Can you Identify the two main causes of the United states war with Mexico?

The two main causes of the United States' war with Mexico were disputes over territorial boundaries and the U.S. desire for westward expansion. The annexation of Texas in 1845, which Mexico still considered part of its territory, heightened tensions.
