Mexican-American War

Mexican-American men were eligible to enlist or be drafted into the US military, and thousands were, where they served at least as well as any other ethnic group. Women found new opportunities for employment beyond agricultural labor, in the rapidly expanding defense industry. The US began a "bracero" ("strong arms") program to encourage Mexican nationals to come to the US as guest agricultural workers.

No, the Texas and Mexican War is correctly known as the Texas Revolution or the War for Texas Indepence and the Mexican-American war began in 1846 ten years after Texas won its Indepence at the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836.

Charles Fremont

Texas claimed to be a slavery country, remember that United States was divided in a same amount of territories with slavery and not slavery, so if Texas joins to the american states, it would be more slavery territories than free states, Massachusetts was a free state.

The Governor of Texas James Pinckney Henderson personally lead his troops into battle.

The mutualist organizations were created during the 1890's to provide aid and economic support to Mexican immigrants. These organizations also provided economic protection, education and community service to the Mexican barrios throughout the U.S. Southwest.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo affected the people of the American Southwest (Pueblo Indians) by making them move west of their home, even though it adopted the American and Mexican culture.

Heinrich Himmler was the head of the SS and also the head of all the concentration camps. He set up the first concentration camp at Dachau in March 1933.

There was a long term problem based on Native American raids on Texian settlements that the Mexican Army found impossible to halt. Texians resented this failure of the Arny to protect them from the Commancheria. The Mexican Army had provided a cannon to the citizens at Gonzales for use in Indian attacks. Wanting their weapon back lead to the first armed conflict between the Mexican Army and the settlers.

Texas was previously under the power of Mexico's dictator, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. the Texonians already wanted to be free from Mexico, but what sealed the deal was the settlers in America wanting to expand their land, leaving Texas with the hope of being accepted by America as one of their states. even though Andrew Jackson (Americas president at the time) didn't want to annex Texas because of the chances of firing up any more conflicts between Mexico and America, the people of the US urged Texas to become independent so that it COULD be annexed to the united states.

Many Americans did "hate" communism because they thought, or believed other who told them, that communism was unAmerican and that communists were only interested in destroying America. They felt threatened and hated the perceived threat.

Despite the collapse of communism in most countries, many people retain those feelings.

President James K. Polk,

General Zachary Taylor,

General Winfield Scott,

General Stephen Kearny,

They lost their lands because the never picked up their tacos and it made rats spread throughout the American West, the infestation got so bad many of them lost there lands in order to end taco spread, and with it rat spread.

The Commanding General of the US Army was Winfield Scott. The first campaign of the war was along the Rio Grande and in northern Mexico, and the field commander of US forces there was Zachary Taylor. The Mexicans were led by Santa Anna, who seemed to have more lives than Jason or Freddie Krueger.

Fremont led an overland expedition to seize California.

Taylor was so successful in his campaign that Scott began to worry that Taylor would parlay his popularity into the presidency. So Scott took the field himself, taking away most of Taylor's troops. Taylor had pretty much run out of anything to do in northern Mexico anyway, having taken on all comers and beaten them all.

Scott led the most remarkable campaign in American history. The only thing anything like it at all was the US march to Baghdad in 2003. Scott landed on the east coast of Mexico, at Vera Cruz, and beseiged and captured that fortified city. There was only one road inland, and it led up over steep mountains. Scott was opposed by Santa Anna also, who had moved south with his army, which was much, much larger than Scott's. Scott set out for the interior of Mexico with 9000 troops. They fought and won two battles against troops entrenched on good defensive ground in the mountains, and then entered the Valley of Mexico. They captured the City of Mexico, with its 250,000 inhabitants, even then the largest city in the Americas. To do this they had to fight and win several battles, including storming the strongest fortress in the Americas, Chapultepec, with walls thirty feet thick. Mexico City was on an island in a lake, and the only approaches were over long, straight causeways, down which enemy cannon were sighted. Still, Scott and his little army prevailed, captured the city, and dictated peace terms there to the defeated Mexicans.

Scott and Taylor wound up opposing each other in the 1848 presidential race, which of course was won by "Old Dad" Taylor. Scott continued as Commanding General until 1862, when he was 75 years old, and had been on active duty for nearly 54 years. There was no retirement plan then. Scott commanded the US Army for more than twenty years. Scott was the last Whig to run for president, and the party soon died after he lost.

The Free Soil Party did with reservation and the republicans favored it.

For the US it was Winfield Scott.

For Mexico it was Santa Anna.

Yes, it resulted in the Mexican Cession and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Pancho Villa, who's real name was Doroteo Arango, fought on the side of the Revolutionaries during the Mexican Revolution in 1910.

Prior to joining the Revolution, Villa was a bandit.

His time as a member of the Revolutionary army were short lived. He left in 1911, after a disagreement with the leader of the Revolution about the path they would take.

Abraham Lincoln did not fight in the Mexican War, but he was an outspoken opponent of it. He demanded to know the exact "spot" on American soil where American blood had been shed in disputed territory- one of the main excuses for going to war.

Disease , this is the right answer for apex (:

Well if you are asking about the war with mexico that took place during 1846-1848 it would be president james k. polk.

US at the time didn't own the land,Mexico wasrebeling, country was about to wage war. They just didn't want the USto interfear they wanted to be like Great Brittian because US and GB had a treaty that pretty much stated that they weren't to interfear with each others nation.

It ended in 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Large indebtedness and a weak government were direct results of the conflict. This would eventually led to (more) internal turmoil.

European Powers would see this weakness as an opportunity to extract more benefits from Mexico (such as England and Spain) or to outright invade Mexico (France) for its riches.
