What three things was john slidell sent to mexico to negotiate
The Zimmerman Telegram, sent by Germany to Mexico in 1917 proposing the return of lost territories (specifically Texas, New Mexico and Arizona) if Mexico declared war to the United States.
The conflict between Mexico and America, primarily known as the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), began over territorial disputes following the U.S. annexation of Texas in 1845. Mexico viewed this annexation as an illegal act since it considered Texas still part of its territory after Texas' independence in 1836. Tensions escalated when U.S. forces were sent to the disputed border area, leading to skirmishes that prompted Congress to declare war. The conflict ultimately resulted in significant territorial gains for the United States, including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, and more.
Zachary Taylor
President James K. Polk sent General Zachary Taylor into the disputed area of southern Texas in 1846. Taylor's deployment was part of Polk's strategy to assert U.S. claims over the territory, which was claimed by both the United States and Mexico. This move ultimately escalated tensions and contributed to the outbreak of the Mexican-American War.
