After Mexico City fell to American forces, president Santa Anna fled the country, fearing retaliations from either American or Mexican forces alike, as it was suspected he played both sides during the conflict for personal gain (he did). Also, many wealthy people, including those in the congress, left Mexico City for fear of their lives.

Without a clear leadership, the Mexican government fell in disarray, prompting those who were left behind to sign the Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty, to prevent the full takeover of Mexico.
