How the turn tables turn.
Those are the claimed borders but Mexico did not control much of it
America fights Mexico over land ruled by native Americans.
Native Americans: We hate you both.
Fun fact, New Mexico (the territory) is older than Mexico (the country) by more years than Mexico has been a country
Exept Mexico very clearly could not enforce that border and got demolished so badly that it never evolved from a failed state. The modern US, however, can.
Yeah, the americans know the dangers of immigrants because for a while they were the danger
Well, to be fair, the Spanish in the XVIII century México was a minority language, only used by the elites. The most used language were the náhuatl. The change came with the liberal reform of Benito Juárez.
You forgot “…and practice chattel slavery”
Get colonized conquistadors!
Wow. We would be so much better off if those borders were still the same. Imagine California being Mexico’s problem.
I had an argument with a friend the other day. Would you guys consider this the biggest land grab in a single peace treaty in history?
reminder that texas was acquired by US workers stealing mexican jobs, and then overthrowing them the second mexico wanted them out
the alamo is quite literally a US invasion of mexico
Should have built a wall. Smh.
So a thought that came to me in the shower was if the American Southwest could still constitute as part of Latin America? The region of Latin America seems less about a shared culture and more a shared history of Spanish and/or Portuguese colonialism. Well, and being within the Americas.
Is this Conquistador propaganda? Or Caucasian/Capitalism propaganda???… Edit: I can’t figure it out lol and I fixed typos
The difference being those territories held roughly 100,000 Mexicans, brought a few hundred thousand American settlers after the war over a period of 20 years. The United States has anywhere from 1 to 3 million Latin American immigrants every year. Many more on temporary visas.
