About the war.
This image shows how the American soldiers are over coming the weak Mexican forces. This also shows the landscape the American soldiers had to deal with for the first time. The war first started because America attempted to buy land from Mexico but Mexico refused so America took it by force. Mexico had very little victory's during this war because they were very much outnumbered and already had a lot of their troops deployed else where. In the end America won the war and took almost 1/3 of Mexico's property from them through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
