Idk why everyone is surprised that Mexico lost this war. Mexico was one of the most unstable nations in the world in the 19th Century. By the time this war happened we went through the dissolution of the monarchy, multiple coups, and a civil war between Centralists and Federalists

[@yo_tengo_una_boca6764]

[@cristeromexico3366]

Antoni l I think Mexico’s independence was very miscarried. I of course do not want to be under Spain.

There are numerous interesting things about this war, from it being the start of Lincoln’s career in federal politics to the last stand of Henry Clay, one of the best major party candidates to never become president. But perhaps the most interesting is that of the American Diplomat for the treaty of Guadeloupe-Hidalgo, Nicholas Trist. See, Trist was sent by Polk expecting him just to demand as much as America could get away with, but as it turned out, Trist was actually a fervently anti-war Democrat and once he got to Mexico, he went out of his way to sign the worst treaty for America that he knew Polk would accept. Only reason he didn’t write a treaty that just gave Mexico everything back with an apology check was because he knew that Polk would flatly refuse and send someone else a little more expansionist.

[@arturocevallossoto5203]

Well, that's a bit unfair. One of the points I read he made was that depriving Mexico of more territory would basically doom the country to civil war. Losing half the territory was already a huge shock. The idea was that Mexico should be able to keep the legitimacy of its government institutions intact. This is to avoid revanchism and jingoism in the future.

[@ahumanfromtexas]

just some mexican guy I live in Texas and you've educated me about the situation in Mexico at the time, the way it's taught here is that the US claimed land to the Rio Grande, while Mexico claimed the border was at the Nueces, so when an American army regiment sent to guard the border ran into some Mexicans, who promptly fired on them starting the war. My only personal problems about Mexico is the whole Battle of the Alamo situation. Anyways, thanks.

[@jackschirmer9508]

Actually if you look at deaths as a percentage of forces deployed, it is one of America's largest. The Americans deployed 78,718 men and if non-battle deaths are included, the Americans lost 13,283 men. That means that of the 78,718 American soldiers who served, 13,283 died, constituting a casualty rate of 16.87 percent. By comparison, the casualty rate was 2.5 percent in World War I and World War II, 0.1 percent in Korea and Vietnam, and 21 percent for the Civil War. For the Mexicans it was quite bad too, 82,000 Mexicans took up arms in the war. If non-combat military deaths and civilian deaths are included, then the Mexican death toll reached up to 25,000 according to "Warfare and Armed Conflicts: A Statistical Encyclopedia of Casualty and Other Figures, 1492-2015, 4th edition". So the battle deaths represented in the video are just a microcosom of the casualties actually suffered in the war.

President James K. Polk actually wanted even more territory from Mexico, he wanted basically everything that wasn't too populated north of Mexico City. However the major generals of the war such as Sherman and Taylor were part of the opposition party (the Whigs) and they didn't want to add too much land to the slave-holding south so they settled for California, New Mexico and Western Texas. Honestly the United States had such an overwhelming victory in this war that it could have just taken whatever it wanted by the time it was over, there was little Mexico could do about it. Fun fact, Mexico fully expected to easily beat America and several European powers such as Spain, France and Prussia also dismissed America in this war. History can be quite funny sometimes!

I like how this animation includes the history fact that Mexico once didn't extend as far south as it does now. That Mexico annexed land fallen from the Central American Republic. What it doesn't show though is that the Baja Peninsula remained part of California and so it also became part of the U.S.. Until the U.S. gave it back to Mexico because of concerns that crime in the region would get out of control because of the isolation by the long southern extension and the Pacific Ocean & Gulf of California.
