Mexican American War - 1of6

One of the most controversial conflicts in U.S. history, the Mexican-American War erupted as President James K. Polk sought to extend the borders of the nation to the Pacific, taking by force whatever territory stood in the way. This History Channel special, hosted by Oscar de la Hoya, looks at the war from the perspective of both countries, and chronicles the fighting from its inception to its conclusion with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

lol ..this is a joke!!

It is misleading to speak of an "Mexican-american War" Mexico is part of americas and unless you assume be at war with itself there can no be "mexican american war" unfortunatly the U.S claims that objective "American" exclusively for there own use..but that is quite misleading..Imagine an article about Chinese-asian war ...or German-european.. hahahaha this is bullshit..But then again bullshits nothing but chewed up grass lol

Stupid assholes, everybody knows that the greddy american asshole r the responsible for this war. And also everybody knows that all cartels r controlled by the stupid american drogadicts in the US. If not ask the occupy movement. Very soon mexico is goin to have its great awakening, ignorant american assholes!

@pitat886 What!? You better include those illegals from Central,South America in your 30,000,000 to you know, not just Mexico itself. I don't understand why many Americans think every hispanic they see accuse them of being Mexican. Mexico isn't the only spanish speaking country in the Americas.

@MrManny7426 Mexicans have more right on American land since they have native ancestry

@MrManny7426 When the United States use the term "American" or "America," it is a short term for our full country's name which is the United States of AMERICA. So I believe that it is accurate enough.

more revisionist history from the anti american propagandists in hollywood. Build the fence and enforce the illegal immigration laws!

@OurBrainHurtsALot Yea the ''u.s.a'' is a temporary agglomeration of disperate interest for mutual benefits..not only that but a geographic term grouping a part of america

@DHarri997 you are a racist son of a bitch!

[DHarri9977]

@777MexicanPride777, your letting your "Pride" get in the way of real historical facts as with reality, officially beginning in 1850 these states became a part of the US territories up till the present and will remain US territories till the end of time. That is a fact, you can continue to spew your lies which are only empty words and will never change the current existence of the US. So you're being the dumb ass here. Read a book and get an education I don't have time to school you.
