Synopsis: The Mexican-American War was a conflict that took place between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848. This conflict emerged as the result of the 1845 American annexation of the Republic of Texas, which had declared independence from Mexico a decade earlier. Through images, maps, fast facts, and sidebars, this book examines the ways history, geography, and culture contributed to this armed conflict, and considers the legacy of the war today.
