It was more like Mexico wanted the north to be settled since it was sparse in population and wanted to convert Texas from a dangerous liability to a safe and civilized asset but lacked any means of doing so, and they allowed the American and German immigrants to do so....way to leave that part out.....and the rest is History!
@Jonesdude666 Well, the notion of a German sprachraum did of course exist, and as such a notion of a Germany, but there was no political entity called Germany, and hence Germany did not exist. Like I wrote earlier, and as you yourself even stated. Austria was never a part of a German nation, only as a part of the loose confederation of the Holy Roman Empire, and in the Nazi era (Anschluss). Prussia does not exist any longer, and even to this day Bavarians see themselves as separate from Germany.

There was no Germany in the 1840's, though. The country was only unified in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian war.

@youoptigan nope. Germany existed, but not as a single entity. Germany was several states. Most significant: Prussia, Austria, Bavaria.
