The fall of New Mexico in 1846, as part of the U.S. military campaign during the Mexican-American War, was a significant event that heightened tensions between the United States and Mexico. After the U.S. annexation of Texas, which Mexico still considered part of its territory, the push for American expansion into New Mexico and California escalated. The U.S. viewed control over New Mexico as crucial for its Manifest Destiny ideology, leading to military conflict. This annexation and subsequent fall of New Mexico intensified hostilities, ultimately contributing to the broader Mexican-American War.
