Battle of San Jacinto
This was important because it was when they attacked General Santa Anna and he signed the treaty which supposedly gave Texas away but then the Mexican congress immediately rejected the treaty. -
Annexation of Texas
This is significant because since Great Britain was already signing treaties with Texas and the U.S was scared that the British might unite with Texas witch they thought they would eventually challenge the U.S. so they decided to ignore the Adams-onis Treaty and voted to annex Texas as the 28th state in the U.S. -
U.S. Takes California
The U.S navy attacked the cities of Monterey and Los Angeles and then three weeks after the Bear Flag revolt, U.S claimed possesion of California. In my opinion this is important because this is how Mexico lost another one of their countries. -
Treaty of Gudalupe Hidalgo
This is important because U.S and Mexico signed a peace treaty which granted U.S title to almost half of Mexico's territory and set the border at the Rio Grande. -
Battle at Chapultepec
10,000 U.S. troops in Veracruz fought their what to Mexico city at Chapultepec Castle, which lead to the Battle at Chapultepec where General Santa Anna surrendered. This is important because this event led for the end of the Mexican American War.
