The Mexicans attacked the Americans first in the Mexican-American War of 1846 primarily due to ongoing tensions over territorial disputes, particularly regarding Texas. The U.S. annexation of Texas in 1845, which Mexico still considered part of its territory, escalated these tensions. When American troops, led by General Zachary Taylor, were stationed near the disputed border, Mexican forces saw this as a provocation and launched an attack, marking the beginning of the conflict. This clash was fueled by broader issues of expansionism and manifest destiny in the United States.
