The Mexican War of 1846-1848 used to be a straight forward

history channel documentary 2015 The Mexican War of 1846-1848 used to be a straight forward matter of the Mexicans under Santa Anna assaulting American region ensuing to the U.S. extension of Texas in 1845, which Mexico still considered its region, which means the war was constrained on us. Later grant by Eisenhower and others proposes that the Americans really faked an assault on themselves in probably U.S. domain, requesting an intrusion into Mexico consequently. President Polk favored American expansionism, and endorsed of the war. Apparently the main individual from the American government who noticed a rodent was Congressman Abraham Lincoln, who over and over requested unequivocal data on "precisely" where the gathered assault occurred, all of which the administration overlooked.

Mexico was in no condition militarily to repel the American attacks. General Scott sent one compel south through the center of the nation, catching towns and urban areas with little issue. Scott sent another power via ocean to an arrival range close Mexico City, and mounted a land and/or water capable strike on delicately protected domain. The Americans caught Mexico City with little inconvenience. In any case, they soon came to understand that they couldn't in any way, shape or form administer all the region they had overwhelm. The southern regions of Mexico did not premium the Americans, but rather they offered the Mexican president 30 million dollars for the domain they needed. When he won't, they made an offer of 15 million dollars to a lesser Mexican authority, which was acknowledged. The United States ended up with parts of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and southern California. Since the latest depiction of the scene appears to be more sensible, I will think about this as an "intentional" war.
