Mexican War  

Definición

  • The Mexican War was the first major occasion when American forces successfully waged war beyond the bound-aries of the United States. A string of glittering U.S. tri-umphs in the conflict added vast new territory to the country, created a surge of national pride, and convinced European powers that the United States was the preeminent power in North America.
