The Mexican-American War did not occur solely at the Battle of Veracruz; rather, the battle was one significant event within the larger conflict. The Mexican-American War took place between 1846 and 1848, sparked by disputes over territory, particularly Texas and lands in the present-day southwestern United States. The Battle of Veracruz happened in March 1847, when U.S. forces under General Winfield Scott launched an amphibious assault and siege on the Mexican port city of Veracruz. This victory opened the way for the U.S. advance toward Mexico City, but it was just one campaign among many during the war, not the war itself.
In the 15th century, Veracruz was controlled by the Aztecs. Veracruz won independence during the Mexican-American war in 1863. Veracruz developed their own infrastructure including roadways.
