Fun fact: Abraham Lincoln and Grant were against War against Mexico
"and to this day, regard the war which resulted as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation." ~ Ulysses S. Grant (Comment about the US invasion of Mexico).
And Grant also quoted this: the Civil War was divine punishment for U.S. aggression against Mexico.
Lincoln got voted out of Congress after a single term due to his opposition. He also got the derisive nickname "Spotty Lincoln," as a result of challenging James Polk to point to the exact spot where hr claimed American blood had been shed.
Have to disagree with lincoln here, im glad the southwest is ours
@@rell0223 No one will argue that it wasn't a good move for the US, but that doesn't make it morally right or defensible; that's why Lincoln, Clay, and many others opposed it. Polk basically instigated a fight where there wasn't one, which got a lot of people killed that had no actual reason to be fighting one another aside from conquest.
@@rell0223
I'm Mexican, and I can guarantee you people over here ain't so glad that you guys have those states.
Nah, in reality no one cares about what happened 200 years ago lol.
FUN FACT: During this war, 2 famous generals by the name of "Ulysses S Grant" and "Robert E Lee", famous for there insane rivalry within the American Civil war would fight for the nation as one within the war!
So would all the veteran Confederate and Union generals?
Exactly, also both general were horribly shocked when they fought the war at the point they believed the civil war was a punishment to America
Their rivalry was professional not personal. After the war, there was no vengeance because both sides saw each other as family.
Funfact: This is not about generals, is about attacking a country who become independent in few years, and division issues 😂

I NEED PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING. This whole time i thought the troop movements were just random animations.
Its not.
They follow the actual old major roadways to the front.
It took this video for me to recognize it.
Subtle detail of extreme accuracy is amazing.
The source is from Wikipedia. Of course they would get it right.
You can see Nashville and the Natchez Trace being used pretty heavily
@strat458796 as well as "old military road' that runs beside hwy 67 into miller/shreveport area. One of the last places crocket/bowie (i cant remember which) was a hamlet that used to exist east of texarkana on their way to fight in texas. Just thought it was super neat little detail it was put into the animation
@@Anonymous-jy5ew For sure, it’s very interesting
This really lets you know how low-intensity this war was, so little troops and casualties for such a huge territory exchange. Meanwhile in European wars tens of thousands died to move the front line from a standstill, here the front line moved half a country away with like a few hundred casualties on both sides. It's almost like there was no fighting at all, just troops moving forwards or backwards.
Those huge lands were almost empty, that’s why Mexico could not keep them. A paper may say they are yours, but if you don’t have a whole bunch of your people settled there, the lands are for those that take them.
@@SheilawiszThey weren’t “almost empty.” It was full of Native American tribes.
@@olympia5758 For territories of that size, Native American population was very low. It’s not like they had entire cities already settled. Also, by the 1840s their numbers had already been affected by European diseases and other factors.
@@olympia5758so almost empty the native tribes where very small for the vast amounts of land they had and still managed to kill eachother over said land, honestly the natives where more brutal than the colonist in their killing of eachother
@@havoc989 Considering that Native Americans are tiny minority in their own homelands and are almost extinct, I'd say the Europeans were far more brutal. Tribal violence doesn't compare to the almost extinction of an entire race of people.
I myself am Mexican and it’s kinda sad to see my country lose half of it’s territory but it’s not like I was alive to see this war so why being mad, the time passes and time goes by.
To be fair if those territories were still Mexican they would have been huge hotspots for cartels, maybe their better of American but hey at least there are still Mexicans in southern united states only mix with other ethnicities
Heck America could’ve annex the entirety of Mexico but the racists didn’t allow that
@@Silvergalaxy7383not gonna lie they would probably be 😅
Noticed the Yucatan was independent then, good job for detail!
(FYI the Yucatan tried to become a USA state at the time, failed by a couple votes in US senate.)
Also most the territory taken by the USA was pretty empty, and the the territories had a history of rebelling against the Mexican central gov't. (Calif 3-4 times, New Mexico 2x, Rio Grande 1x)
@@tommy-er6hh indeed my friend the state of Yucatan has been by far the most rebellous state, trying to gain independence 3 times, only two of them being achieved before being re-incorpored to Mexico. And by the way if you still don’t believe i am Mexican: ñ
The casualties are sometimes fast and sometimes slow
Because wars before 20th century were without actual frontline. Soldiers didn't die everyday like in a modern warfare. Only when 2 armies meeting and killing each other and then retreat for regroup or continued to move towards the city for example

Fue una gran derrota nuestro ejército no era un ejército profesional sino sólo indígenas reclutados por la fuerza, el país estaba endeudado después de la guerra de independencia y había muy pocos generales con formación sin olvidar que muchas de las tropas no tenían pistola solo machete o armas cuerpo a cuerpo
Te faltó que estábamos técnicamente en guerra civil
bueno no es del todo cierto el ejercito de mexico si era profesional pero el ejercito de estados unidos ya era una potencia regional en especial por la tecnologia mientras mexico usaba cañones franceses que tiraban bolas de hierro los gringos usaron un cañon especialmente fabricado para lucha en el desierto que ya lanzaba cargas explosivas sin contar el dominio absoluto en los mares por parte de eua
Bueno ese fue el plan de EEUU cuando financió las guerras de independencia contra España, acabar con cualquier tipo de cohesión en latinoamerica, mermar cualquier capacidad militar, y a la larga aprovechar esto para hacerse con el control no solo de más territorio, si no económico, ya que antes de las guerras de independencia México era económicamente muy superior a EEUU, después de la independecia cayó en picado.
Yep sorry for that Mexico
@@huilan_smirnaherekdary si no me equivoco los estadounidenses tenían munición metralla la cuál al momento de impactar se dispersaban muchos restos como si fueran granadas
We should also remember that thousands more of American troops died from infected wounds and other diseases. Those returning home after the war were often broken men, mentally affected and many with missing limbs. The Mexican war was not as easy as it is sometimes portrayed.
I assume the same would be true for the other side
Yeah, was even harder for mexico, mexico still used back then the ''brown bess musket'' an almost 100 years old musket, capable of doing 1 or 2 shots per minute, while the american springfield musket was capable of doing almost 15 shots per minute!
Both countries suffered a lot during that war
Although Mexico suffered far more in this war not only losing half its land but having way more casualties and more of what you described, oh and they were also defeated
@@SirOreo_ Those lands were Mexican in the paper, but never in reality. Without any significant population settled there, it was impossible for Mexico to keep them. They were going to become American states one way or another.
@@MarioRodriguez-pi7brthe springfield could do at max 7-8 shots per minute
1846
The United States was a stable nation that had become independent from the United Kingdom decades ago, Mexico had just become independent from Spain with 1 million deaths and a civil war.
Population: US 20 million, Mexico 7 million
In the war the Mexican army was poorly armed, in debt and divided, less than half of the Mexican states participated in the defense of the nation.
The US was in unrest also they were about to go into a full blown civil war
Was 1 sided. Mexico has always been divided politically and unstable unfortunately.
The funny thing is that Mexico actually had a larger population than the United States in 1800 (6.2 million vs 5.3 million), yet by 1846 the American population was almost triple the Mexican population.
Wonders of immigration.
@@Adsper2000Yet nowadays they're too busy killing their own unborn children just to get short term dopamine and needing to get more immigrants to continue existing lmao
@@ebecerra85Nada que ver, en aquel entonces México literalmente se estaba haciendo pedazos.
Oh, so that's why most Californian cities are named Spanish like San Francisco.
In fact Mexico actually WON several battles on the west coast.
Those names were given by the Spanish conquistadors during the Viceroyalty of New Spain, not by the modern-day Mexicans.

The ratio of soldiers between usa and mexico shows how terrible mexico’s army was
Army is to have indigenous people forcibly recruited without any firearm? And in a country in an open civil war? USA doesn't deserve any credit
@@AnahuacMeshikoWithout Firearms? The Mexican military was not a ragtag militia like you are making it sound like. They had thousands of professional, disciplined, drilled soldiers with the most modern weaponry at the time. They had fantastic professional calvary, which did a lot of damage to the Americans. The Mexicans were led by Santa Anna a incompetent politician, and even more incompetent general. The man had a messiah complex. If Mexico had better leadership the Americans would of been defeated most likely.
@@Karl-cs2jt Mexico did not need leadership, the only time the army retreated to Mexico City to suppress a rebellion, and those experienced were only one, modern team? Modern equipment? Just a couple of French cannons shooting steel balls
@@AnahuacMeshikoMexico had plenty of cannons they just deployed them in a foolish way. They would set up cannon emplacements, set up the cannon in one spot on the battlefield and leave it there. Where it would get destroyed by counter battery fire. The Americans were employing rolling artillery on the battlefield. The Americans would chain their cannons to wagons pulled by horses. The cannon would setup fire a few shots and then flee to another position to fire from. So you couldn't destroy them with counter battery fire. Again incompetent leadership on the battlefield has a catastrophic effect on the Mexicans ability to wage war. Santa Anna was a terrible general at the end of the day.
@@AnahuacMeshiko A simple bit of research shows Mexico had over 500 cannons at the start of the war, including mortars, 6 pounders, 12 pounders etc. They were at a disadvantage when it comes to fire power. The Americans had more cannons. But the crucial difference was in how they employed them. The Mexicans would employ their cannons on the battlefield and leave it in one place, where it would get destroyed by counter battery fire. The Americans employed a new tactic called rolling artillery. Where they harnessed their cannons to horses, The cannon would deploy without wasting time to be unharnessed, it would fire a few shots and then the horse drawn cannon would gallop really fast to a new location and fire 2 or 3 shots never staying in place. It was very difficult to destroy them with counter battery fire. The Mexican artillery was picked off one by one on the battlefield. Again poor generalship by Santa Anna. The guy was a terrible tactician and strategist. If the Mexicans were lead by a great general they would of won or fought the war to a draw.
What I don't understand is how both at 0:18 and 0:35 the US simply travelled around Mexican forces and suddenly captured that entire area like it's tetris or something
Isn't it a Tetris video?
Well, when an area is encircled by an enemy force, all highways and roads (assuming there are any) are blocked off from the outside. This allows for a swift takeover of said area, resulting in an encirclement movement. This was most famously utilized during WW2, the German Blitzkrieg.

if the US wanted to at the time, could they have taken mexico entirely? or would that make things worse then what they are today
No
They could have most definetely and actually planned on doing so. But due to the actions of a diplomat, the deal we see today happened and Mexico kept its current borders.
@@society463Mexicans are 90% descendants of Europeans, your Europe only includes the barbarians of the north
@@BRUH-nw9hhnot true only radical southerners wanted to take all of Mexico, the idea of taking all of that extremely populated land was very unpopular at the time.
They wanted to, but as usual, the north was afraid of the south gaining more power due to the Mason-Dixon line.

So at 1 time all that in the left was originally Mexicos😳
In fact, it was the territory of New Spain and belonged to the Spanish Empire. Later, Spain got into a lot of trouble with practically all of Latin America and Europe, so Spain practically handed over its its sovereignty to Mexico, As soon as the Mexican indigenous people had their territory, the US, knowing that without Spain Mexico was nothing, invaded them immediately and won easily, That territory was originally conquered by Spain, not Mexico.

Поскольку фактически линия фронта появилась в русско-японскую войну
A second American army landed at the beaches of vera Cruz Mexico like 30 miles from Mexico City. The main Mexican army was at the border fighting the Americans up north. Mexico city was undefended. The Americans stormed Mexico City, using newly invented dynamite, in house to house fighting. The Americans sacked the city. Forced the Mexicans to sign terms of surrender. Including a clause that if Mexico ever tries to take back the south western United States. The united states will have the legal authority to conquer the rest of Mexico and incorporate it into the United States.
The Yucatan península just chillin in the background
Not so much, the Yucatán Republic was going through the Caste War at that time. Even when they rejoined Mexico a few years later the conflict lasted all the way up until the early 1900s.
Was about to happen in the lousiana purchase too but Napolean didn't want the smoke and sold it instead
Mexico: Nothing we can do
Forgotten yet very important war; easily the last major war related to the events of 1776-1825. The configuration of modern America(s). Since this war, Latin America stops at Rio Grande, New Mexico being a buffer state in all but name.

Skill issue
Texas asked them to attack and Mexico isn't completely innocent. Don't speak if you don't know what's going on.
En realidad no, también Estados Unidos había ganado su independencia, la diferencia entre uno y otro, es que Estados Unidos tuvo cohesión y en teoría estuvieron de acuerdo en su mayoría, por lo que estaban más unidos. México por su parte tenía un conflicto, porque las élites no tenían la misma idea que los indígenas u otros sectores, México NO quería independizarse de España, lo hicieron porque lo vieron más conveniente al ver que España tenía sus reformas liberales. Durante la invasión prácticamente, era un pueblo y gobierno desarticulado fácil de someter... Y ese siempre ha sido el problema con México, que la élite y la clase común no tienen el mismo ideal, y por eso, es fácil desarticularlo.

How? How is that so good , dude !!! ❤
The way you show the distribution of the armies is quite misleading.
The largest continuous army that Mexico had in terms of numbers was the contingent led by Santa Anna during the Battle of Buena Vista, consisting of around 20,000 men (although in the actual battle, less than 15,000 fought, as many were either relocated or deserted). There was never a kind of unified front where casualties accumulated in that way. Most of the casualties in action occurred in the major battles, occasional skirmishes in cities, and in the later stages through guerrilla warfare by civilian resistance.
How do you do this?
There was never a unified front, that didn't appear until the advent of modern warfare.
The representation is misleading
My great great great great uncle was a Californio (ex Mexican soldier) from the Los Angeles area that formed a militia of other Californios and some natives against the US after the Mexican troops retreated back to Mexico city.

@@kiboma4209Also Mexico had his independence in 1821, and a lot of divisions and civil wars lol.
This is simply false. The UK and France actually had plans drawn up to attack Mexico during the but the war ended too quickly. Santa Anna alienated and had broken treaties guarenteed by the two powers. They viewed his leadership a bumbling at best. The British opinion viewed Mexican defeat as an inevitability, they and the French were hoping Mexico could last long enough to pay them concessions.
The chief American reason for the Mexican War was the expansion of slavery. The US, in the 1840's, was dominated by the pro-slavery Democratic Party. The anti-slavery expansion party, the Whigs, were in disarray, and it would be not be until 1860 that the new Republican Party would unite all the anti-slavery factions.
The US annexed the Republic of Texas in Dec 1845. Using a border dispute as a pretext, the war began in April 1846. As others have pointed out the Spanish language settlements in New Mexico and California were established in the 1600's and 1700's when the area was controlled by Spain and long before Mexican independence. The US wanted to expand through the southwest and to California (at the same time American settlers were moving into Oregon and present day Washington State). Because Mexico did not colonize and develope the territories north and west of the Rio Grande, the area was sparsely populated. The exception was New Mexico which maintained its Spanish culture and language (the only bi-lingual state) despite Anglo incursions in the 19th century.
As for the war itself, it was Scott's successful landing at Vera Cruz and then overland march to Mexico City which forced a 2 front war on the ovewhelmed Mexican Army and unstable Mexican Government.
How do you do it
Looks to me like a very WW1 style war, unlike the Border War in which Pancho Villa was victorious thanks to guerilla warfare
That’s because this is a quite badly depiction of the war
It's not. The lines stop moving because they stopped pushing. Mexico city fell and the war was basically over. The Americans, ceased pushing as they tried to find someone to negotiate with. After the Mexican government had fled.

I suppose that move would have been unpopular on the world stage. Besides, enough territory was already conquered and annexed.
They talked about it, but they didn't want to be stuck with Mexicans as citizens, so they only took the sparsely populated areas.
Congress briefly tried to annex it all but the U.S was more interested in the land than they were the Mexican people, due to racism. Also they KNEW Mexican citizens would eventually revolt but land won't revolt.
FACTS@@KingMinos316
I got something what if mexico had a nuke just 1 nuke appears out of thin air and they use it sacrificing a man
Qeu yo sepa el ejército mexicano nunca tuvo a mas de 20 mil combatientes en acción, de dónde saca que el ejército mexicano que fue al norte a luchar fue de 40,000 mil
Just imagine they went to war today
This would be a hellhole
Would be similar to the Ukraine-Russia War.
@@Hect568Mexico would not have the support of the whole world like Ukraine, and yet Ukraine is losing
@AnahuacMeshiko that's what you think, kid. Even from the inside of U.S. México would still have any kind of support.
@@Hect568 Chicanos wouldn't do anything
As a Mexican-American I don't really care about the war that happened but I feel bad that almost all my people from Mexico died I'm Hispanic and American but I support both countries
America is not just the United States, Mexico is also in America and many other hispanic American countries
@@hanielgarcia3786 i know
At least you aren't whining over land you lost 200 years ago.
@Sigma_Male_Anti_Female Yes plus almost everyone in the world is having disputes everyday with borders
@@Flammabledragonplayz Mexico would probably be a first world country if the USA simply took all of it.
So, the US don't has like 300 army battalion or more like in Vic3?
Más como Vic3
name aplikation ?
Se jactan de esa guerra...cuando México no tenía prácticamente un ejército...pelearon contra un 70 % de solo civiles apenas armados....aún así los estadounidenses tuvieron varias derrotas que callan en sus libros de historia ( o histeria mejor dicho 😂 )

@@ny2lf al contrario me río de las cobardías de ese ejército mediocre que invadió México
Cierto, México no tenía un ejército decente, sin incluir que los mismos mexicanos tristemente se auto-sabotearon. Por ahí escuché que durante esos años, un grupo de soldados iba ser un asalto por California, pero el mismo gobierno de Sinaloa los detuvo y arresto, si no me equivoco de lugares claro, pero sucedió eso.
@@ny2lf lástima que borraron mi respuesta..creo les dolió la verdad
@@Nemoty114También sucedió en Tabasco, donde México ganó una batalla y el gobierno se negó a darles refuerzos o apoyo de ningún tipo y luego arrestó al comandante a cargo de la batalla (que ganó).
We had guys like William W. Loring, gets arm shattered by bullet, amputated without so much as a wince while enjoying a cigar & drink. Then has his arm buried pointing toward Mexico city. Goes off to fight the civil war, after that goes and helps the Egyptian army. They dont make guys like that anymore.
The war of Honduras and El Salvador of 1969
make the war of 1812 in google earth
they did a d-day in 1847?
Hell yes, U.S. pulled an all out amphibious assault at the battle of Vera Cuz!

Remember the Alamo
Essa foi uma das guerras mais humilhantes que eu já conheci
No conoces mucho de historia al parecer
fue una guerra sucia, humillante para ellos atacar a un pais recien independizado e inestable a base de provocacion a falsa bandera. Hasta algunos presidentes de USA de esa epoca se sintieron avergonzados
1846:
-USA 20 millones de habitantes, independizado hace décadas, estabilidad política y el mejor ejercito de américa.
-México: 6 millones de habitantes, destrozado por la reciente guerra de independencia mas grande de todo américa con movimientos separatistas.
Con todo eso no pudieron con la invasión al norte, ganaron por la entrada poco defendida en Veracruz mediante la armada.
@@Daj3293 ¿Entrada de Veracruz poco defendida?
Amigo, literal el general Scott ordenó bombardear el puerto y así lo mantuvo por casi un mes, cuando se le pidió una tregua para evacuar a los civiles se el general estadounidense se negó y continuó el asedio (más de 1000 civiles veracruzanos murieron en ese asedio)

It’s crazy to see all the people fighting over this. Like ooh your big empire lost to my big empire. Time for you to write a giant paragraph about how the invasion was unjust and how Mexico was weak despite no one arguing it was some godly force that could have won.
Delusional
its actually Mexians with a hurt ego.
People think that the war was a case of a mush larger, more powerful US invading Mexico. In fact, when the war started, as Mexico sent its cavalry north of the Rio Grande on 25 April 1846, Mexico had a much larger army then the US. It took until well into 1847 for the US to achieve parity in numbers.
