What year did the US take Texas from Mexico?

Answer 1

The United States went into war with Mexico and the United States won so Mexico had to sell the northern half of Mexico (Texas) to the United States for half the offer the United States offered.

Answer 2

Texas was lost during the Texas Revolution (1835-1836). Territory of Texas at the time included present-day Texas, as well as parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming.

During the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) Mexico lost several territories, including present-day California, Nevada, Utah and the rest of Colorado as well as most of northern New Mexico and Arizona. Also at the end of the war Mexico was forced to cease any attempt on reclaiming Texas. This is also known as the Mexican Cession (1848).

Answer 3

Spain

Answer 4

Texas had already seceded from Mexico during the Texas Revolution (1835-1836), but it became part of the US when it was admitted to the Union in 1845.

Answer 5

Until 1835, Texas was still part of Mexico. Not a single acre of Texas was purchased from Mexico as an international transaction (it was settled by American Empresarios, though).
