His campaign included a significant amphibious landing at Veracruz, followed by a march inland that faced various challenges, including difficult terrain and resistance from Mexican forces. The successful capture of Mexico City marked a pivotal moment in the war, leading to the eventual signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
