__The Mexican-American War.__

-The Mexican-American War was a conflict between Mexico and the United States of America in the late 1840s.

-Mexico claimed ownership of Texas as a breakaway province and refused to recognize then secession and subsequent military victory by Texas in 1863.

-The important consequences of the war for the U.S. were the Mexican terms of surrender under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This meant Mexican territories were ceded to the U.S.

-The Rio Grande became the boundary between Texas and Mexico, and Mexico never again claimed ownership of Texas.
