How much land did Mexico give up to America?
Nothing. Texas split up on its own during the Texas Revolution (1835-1836), but was never recognized as an independent country by Mexico. When it was admitted to the United States in 1846, this move triggered the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). At the end of such war, Mexico was forced to recognize Texas independence and cease any attempt on retaking it. The amount "paid" -- in fact the amount just was deducted form Mexico's standing debt towards the United States -- was given just for the Mexican Cession, which officially included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, part of Colorado as well as most of northern New Mexico and Arizona.

Why did U.S. intevene in Mexico in 1914?
A faulty intelligence report stating that a German shipment of arms was bound for Veracruz resulted in the United States occupation of Veracruz, when 2,300 American marines assaulted and took the aforementioned port city on April 21, 1914, occupying it for six months.
Immediate results include 22 American marines killed and 70 wounded, and up to 172 Mexican casualties, with 250 wounded including Mexican infantry, sailors and some militia formed from the city populace. Both Victoriano Huerta and Venustiano Carranza (opposing rivals during the Mexican Revolution) officially objected to the occupation, but neither was able to oppose it effectively, as both were fighting against each other. The occupation brought the two countries to the brink of war, and damaged the US-Mexican relations for many years.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Mexico's geography?
Advantages:
- It is located between North and South America and the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico. This allows Mexico to act as a bridge between both regions.
- Also, Mexico has a large number of international trade agreements, allowing it to have a large export-oriented economy.
- Finally, Mexico has a large population (113 million) allowing it to have an important - although still developing - economy labeled as an "emerging market".
Disadvantages:
- Geography and climate often hinder economic development efforts. For example, the Chihuahuan desert is the result of a 'rain shadow' induced by the Sierra Madre Occidental. This has limited agriculture to small fertile pockets within Mexico, which cover only 12-17% of Mexico's territory.

- Chapultepec - One of the largest public parks in the city. Atop the hill of Chapultepec there is a castle, now a history museum, where one of the most celebrated battles of the Mexican-American War took place.
