It all started as several skirmishes on the Nueces Strip, a no man's land between Texas and Mexico that hadn't been properly defined nor accepted as part of either Texas or Mexico. American troops entering such contested land were attacked by Mexican troops, resulting in 16 Americans killed. This was used as a pretext for the war but this was seen rather as a provocation that started the War.
