History

Historical Context

The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) stemmed from border disputes after the U.S. annexed Texas in 1845. The conflict concluded with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, where Mexico ceded about 55% of its territory, including California and New Mexico, to the U.S. President Claudia Sheinbaum's recent rejection of U.S. troop deployment reflects ongoing tensions over sovereignty and foreign military presence.
