Mexican-American War
Its 1821 and you are in Mexico celebrating your freedom from Spain. 25 years later a war has begun against your neighboring country, the U.S. They want to take away Texas! You can’t let your country be ripped apart after barely being freed. You will fight against the unjust U.S and protect Texas!
The Mexican War took place during 1846 to 1848. Some events that led to this were Mexico gaining freedom from Spain in 1821 and the Texas revolution in 1836(background essay). Here we will answer the question of Was the United States Justified in going to war with Mexico?

In (Document D) it says that by the the time Mexico freed itself from Spain, the U.S had already begun to move into Texas. “The idea was...that this extensive province ought to become part of the United States.”(Doc D)“The Anglo-Saxon foot is already on California’s borders….armed with plough and rifle,”(Doc A). This suggests that the U.S is already ready to take over California from Mexico and is waiting for a chance to get it. “Polk did not just want to annex Texas, he also had his eye on California” (background essay) helps support this
