  1. Mexico informed the US that the annexation of Texas would be considered an act of War, but the US annexed it anyway. Mexico did not declare war but it severed the diplomatic ties with the US.
  2. President Polk ordered General Zachary Taylor to proceed with his Army to the Rio Grande River and prepare to defend Texas from invasion. Both Armies were in the contested Nueces strip, met, shots were fired and men died. The US Congress declared war.
