Fun fact, most embassies in Washington DC today are still located in different buildings across the city. Embassies are groups of people, not buildings. The headquarters building of an embassy is called a chancery.

[@doujinflip]

Legations are likewise the people of a diplomatic mission, but ranked as second-rate compared to embassies which originally would only be sent between major kingdoms. The rise of the US and France as republic great powers broke down this hierarchy over the next century. The last legation to exist was the Swedish one to South Africa, who had suspended their diplomatic developments to ZA in protest of apartheid until that broke down in 1994.

The part about Mexico taking the time off. It seems many times Mexico once again took the time to concentrate on Texas that things did not go the way the Texans would have liked. If Texas had not become a US state more then likely Mexico would have taken control once again. In the end, the US more then likely knew Texas would become a state. After all, it was full of US citizens that had settled there for the free land.

I mean, it wasn’t *just* a cessation of conflict. We didn’t just “take it as a win”. We got General Santa Anna to sign a peace treaty after the Battle of San Jacinto, and then when he got back to his seat of power he just recanted. Iirc, it was something about Texas not being a sovereign region and therefore the peace treaty was void, since in Mexico’s view they weren’t at war with an independent power but were putting down a particularly large-scale, well-organized, and surprisingly effective insurrection. But we *did* have his signature on a treaty that recognized Texas as sovereign territory, so it was kinda mixed messages.

Very rarely will I find myself laughing at one of your semi-mediocre jokes.

[@gregjohn3844]

Same here.

I live in Austin, and the French Legation is a historic building that you can visit here.

That Ad at the end was sick 😂

When I clicked on this I misread it and thought it said the Texas embassy to London. For some reason, I think that Texas still actually has an ambassador to the court of St James ( London)

[@OnkelJajusBahn]

As a German, I first assumed Texas still had an embassy reading the title. Scince in Germany every state has an embassy in Berlin, Brussel and Germany's seond capital Bonn.

Texas: I am actually you but you’re not me and I am not hiding that

[@OutcastAngelV]

I literally watched the Binging, Mac and Cheese episode RIGHT before this one, damn you're good.

[@TWKIB]

I just came from watching binging with babish and I'm feeling faintly attacked.

[@Djuntas]

Thanks, on my way to form my own country now that I can design a flag.

[@mr.blonde8808]

HIF keeping me sane in quarantine.

[@setonlowe5983]

There is also an old Texas embassy in London

[@Kishan_Baijnath]

It's crazy because I was actually watching some Binging with Babish right now.
