At the outbreak of the Mexican-American War in 1846, the province claimed by the United States was Texas. Texas had declared independence from Mexico in 1836 and was annexed by the U.S. in 1845, which heightened tensions between the two nations. The dispute over the border, particularly the claim that the Rio Grande was the southern boundary of Texas, further escalated the conflict.
