The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was considered a “peace treaty”, but it has created an ongoing conflict due to the broken promises and injustices that followed the negotiation.

In early 1846, tensions between Mexico and the United States were high due to the United States annexation of Texas. These tensions reached a critical stage after "a skirmish broke out between Mexican and U.S. troops, both nations declared war" (King 65). The war between Mexico and the United States raged on for two years until it finally "ended in 1848 when the Mexican army surrendered at Chapultepec Castle and the U.S. army occupied Mexico City" (King 66).
