During the Mexican war, American forces advanced deep into Mexico taking Mexico City. Combat operations lasted a year and a half, from the spring of 1846 to the fall of 1847. American forces quickly occupied Santa Fe de Nuevo México and Alta California Territory, then invaded parts of Northeastern Mexico and Northwest Mexico; meanwhile, the Pacific Squadron conducted a blockade, and took control of several garrisons on the Pacific coast farther south in Baja California Territory. Another American army captured Mexico City, and the war ended in a victory for the United States. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended and specified the major consequence of the war: the forced Mexican Cession of the territories of Alta California and Santa Fe de Nuevo México to the United States in exchange for $15 million. In addition, the United States assumed $3.25 million of debt owed by the Mexican government to U.S. citizens. Mexico accepted the loss of Texas and thereafter cited the Rio Grande as its national border. So after capturing Mexico City, American troops pulled back to the current border. Had they kept Mexico City, most of current day Mexico would be part of the USA. In my opinion, that would have been a great deal for today's Mexicans. Instead of living in a squalid third world country dominated by corrupt government officials, and drug lords, they'd be American citizens living in the modern USA. They'd also be speaking English. Losing a war to America has long been one of the best deals around. Germany and Japan are testimony to that fact. @menantol Scottish Lassie Big Lin ♫anna♫Texas was only a relatively small part of Mexican claimed territory above the Rio Grande before 1840. It would have been tragic if the traditionally corrupt and dysfunctional Mexican government had kept this territory.

Yes, Scottish Lassie it is taught. Most likely not in great detail in the public schools, but the 'books' which detail these events have been available longer than I have been alive.

American History is in taught in the schools including the Mexican war.
If you ever get a chance to go to Mexico City, there are some excellent museums. This includes Chapultepec Castle where there are significant historical displays for that war. The Presidential Palace also has some memorabilia. It is where the American General raised the Stars and Stripes over Mexico City.

Hi Bush Admirer, There is very little chance of me ever getting there as I have a fear of heights, so couldn't fly by plane. But I do enjoy your posts.

Very interesting read everyone.... now after all of that how far have we actually advanced and why schools hides 80% of this history from our children? Do you think it's because of lack of funds to upgrade our learning instruments or are the teachers instructed to teach just standards and to not address the importance of content.
