Anglo settlers captured Mexican soldiers and declared the Bear Flag Republic in 1846 in Sonoma, California. This rebellion was part of the larger context of the Mexican-American War. The insurgents sought to establish independence from Mexican rule, citing grievances over governance and land rights. The Bear Flag Republic was short-lived, as California soon became part of the United States following the war.
