The Mexican War copy these notes onto packet page 1 When Texas was admitted to the Union in 1845, Mexico broke off diplomatic relations with the United States.

A dispute soon arose in which Mexico said that its boundary line with Texas was the Nueces River. The United States claimed the boundary line was the Rio Grande. Disputed Land Both sides said they owned the land between the two rivers.

The settlers carried a flag showing a grizzly bear facing a red star. Stephen Kearny, army captain John C. Fremont, and naval commander Robert F. Stockton joined forces to win battles near San Diego and Los Angeles. This ended Mexican rule in California.

General Zachary Taylor crossed the Rio Grande and captured the city of Monterrey after a hard-fought battle. Five months later the Americans defeated Santa Anna at the Battle of Buena Vista. Santa Anna at the time was the president of Mexico.

General Winfield Scott crossed the Gulf of Mexico and landed at Veracruz on the east coast of Mexico. When the city surrendered, the American army moved inland toward Mexico City. After a series of battles, the Mexican capital was captured.

A short time later, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed ending the Mexican War. The war had lasted from 1846 to Land the United States gets from Mexico
