FUN FACT: During this war, 2 famous generals by the name of "Ulysses S Grant" and "Robert E Lee", famous for there insane rivalry within the American Civil war would fight for the nation as one within the war!

[MannyBXNG]

Fun fact: Abraham Lincoln and Grant were against War against Mexico

[YoungOneYT]

Back when Americans were the ones illegally crossing the border.

I NEED PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING. This whole time i thought the troop movements were just random animations.


Its not.


They follow the actual old major roadways to the front.


It took this video for me to recognize it.

Subtle detail of extreme accuracy is amazing.

1846

The United States was a stable nation that had become independent from the United Kingdom decades ago, Mexico had just become independent from Spain with 1 million deaths and a civil war.

Population: US 20 million, Mexico 7 million

In the war the Mexican army was poorly armed, in debt and divided, less than half of the Mexican states participated in the defense of the nation.

I myself am Mexican and it’s kinda sad to see my country lose half of it’s territory but it’s not like I was alive to see this war so why being mad, the time passes and time goes by.

[derbigpr]

This really lets you know how low-intensity this war was, so little troops and casualties for such a huge territory exchange. Meanwhile in European wars tens of thousands died to move the front line from a standstill, here the front line moved half a country away with like a few hundred casualties on both sides. It's almost like there was no fighting at all, just troops moving forwards or backwards.

Fue una gran derrota nuestro ejército no era un ejército profesional sino sólo indígenas reclutados por la fuerza, el país estaba endeudado después de la guerra de independencia y había muy pocos generales con formación sin olvidar que muchas de las tropas no tenían pistola solo machete o armas cuerpo a cuerpo

[Sheilawisz]

We should also remember that thousands more of American troops died from infected wounds and other diseases. Those returning home after the war were often broken men, mentally affected and many with missing limbs. The Mexican war was not as easy as it is sometimes portrayed.

[FurryballOficial]

That day the US stopped being humble and became a fan of Kunno

[travelgaming]

The ratio of soldiers between usa and mexico shows how terrible mexico’s army was

[IntenseHistory]

Didn’t know we penetrated that far into Mexico.

[Michał-fvf]

The casualties are sometimes fast and sometimes slow

[tolik]

Very good, a war seldom shown anywhere .

[X.M_Mapper]

Oh, so that's why most Californian cities are named Spanish like San Francisco.

[kkkkk]

Crazy How Mexico Lost That Bunch Of Land In North In Second

[randomrazr]

if the US wanted to at the time, could they have taken mexico entirely? or would that make things worse then what they are today

[monkeypie]

What I don't understand is how both at 0:18 and 0:35 the US simply travelled around Mexican forces and suddenly captured that entire area like it's tetris or something

[ladygrey]

It's funny as fuck that I have ancestors who fought on both sides of this conflict.

[BorisSinSonido]

As a Mexican, this video hurts, but still vry true
