      Legations are likewise the people of a diplomatic mission, but ranked as second-rate compared to embassies which originally would only be sent between major kingdoms. The rise of the US and France as republic great powers broke down this hierarchy over the next century.
      The last legation to exist was the Swedish one to South Africa, who had suspended their diplomatic developments to ZA in protest of apartheid until that broke down in 1994.

      The part about Mexico taking the time off. It seems many times Mexico once again took the time to concentrate on Texas that things did not go the way the Texans would have liked. If Texas had not become a US state more then likely Mexico would have taken control once again. In the end, the US more then likely knew Texas would become a state. After all, it was full of US citizens that had settled there for the free land.

Ireland has a military but it's mostly just infantry troops, a navy more like the US coastguard with just patrol ships no missiles, and an air force with just some helicopters and transports. Air defence is done by the UK. In practice Ireland only maintains an army so it can contribute to peacekeeping operations overseas with the UN.

      Edit: I’m only sleggin, I suppose from the outside some may see it as a type of proxy war, with the free state providing sanctuary for provos to run across the border after attacks, and loyalist incursions into Monaghan and of course the Glenanne gangs bombings of Monaghan and Dublin, and the supposed involvement of British intelligence with the Mid Ulster UVF(Glenanne gang) also the very real likelihood there was of a potential conflict of the IRA and Carson’s UVF over home rule, but then of course it was all Ireland at that stage before partition.

    I mean, it wasn’t *just* a cessation of conflict. We didn’t just “take it as a win”. We got General Santa Anna to sign a peace treaty after the Battle of San Jacinto, and then when he got back to his seat of power he just recanted. Iirc, it was something about Texas not being a sovereign region and therefore the peace treaty was void, since in Mexico’s view they weren’t at war with an independent power but were putting down a particularly large-scale, well-organized, and surprisingly effective insurrection. But we *did* have his signature on a treaty that recognized Texas as sovereign territory, so it was kinda mixed messages.

    Idea for a video: if a person was born in a sovereign state that was annexed by the US, would they qualify for president?

      Ik this is a year late, but the answer is no. You have to be a naturalized citizen in order to run for president, and the US determines that as someone who was born on US soil. Since it wasn’t US soil at the time of birth, then it wasn’t US soil period. Not an expert btw but I’m pretty sure I’m right
