瓜达卢佩伊达戈条约 (Treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo) 在墨西哥市正式签署
1848年2月2日
墨西哥战争的爆发，始于美国将德州纳入自己的领土的争议。美国与墨西哥都主张介于努伊瑟斯 (Nueces) 与里格兰德河 (Rio
Grande River) 之间的土地是属于他们自己的。在1846年1月，波尔克总统下令泰勒将军带领军队前往这些争议地区。当墨西哥军队攻击泰勒部队时，国会在1846年5月13日通过决议，向墨西哥宣战。当史考特将军在1847年9月14日占领墨西哥市之后，这场战争才告平静。
The Mexican War began with a dispute over the addition of Texas to the United States, since both Mexico and the U.S. claimed the area between the Nueces and Rio Grande rivers as their own. In January 1846, President James K. Polk ordered General Zachary Taylor to bring troops into the disputed area. When Mexican troops attacked Taylor's forces, Congress approved a declaration of war on Mexico on May 13, 1846. With the capture of Mexico City by General Winfield Scott on September 14, 1847, the fighting subsided.
