Captivating History
Did you know that the United States tried to buy territory from Mexico before the war?
The Mexican-American War was a short war between the United States and Mexico in the 19th century that played a crucial role in shaping the landscape of the continent and had a long-lasting effect on both countries. However, why is the war often overlooked by people?
Even though it was one of the first major offensive wars fought by the United States, the truth is that it often gets overshadowed by notable events that followed it, like the American Civil War. In fact, most people likely know more about the Battle of the Alamo, which preceded the war, than the Battle of Palo Alto.
This book aims to fix that. Get ready to learn more about this short conflict between two neighboring nations in North America and how it changed the course of history.
