The whole mexican revolution is a bit complex, at least for me. During the election of 1910, Francisco I. Madero was jailed and Porfirio Díaz was declared winner of the elections. The vigilance in Madero’s imprisionment was quite relaxed and Madero escaped without problems, he issued his Plan de San Luis Potosí from San Antonio, Texas, declared the elections null and called for a revolution in November 20th, Díaz was overthrown in a few months and went to France where he died, Madero took the Mexican presidency.\n\nThe real revolts started AFTER Madero took power as president. Zapata wasn’t happy with Madero’s performance and announced his Plan the Ayala, his idea was to take the land from the rich and give it to the poor, the civil war started. Madero was betrayed by his commander in chief Victoriano Huerta (a conspiracy with US Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson) and was killed. Huerta was declared President, Venustiano Carranza, the Coahuila State Governor, didn’t recognize Huerta and declared war, to that side joined Pancho Villa, Álvaro Obregón and Emiliano Zapata, Huerta escaped to Spain, when he tried to come back, he was arrested in the US and died in jail. Venustiano Carranza became president, but Zapata and Villa fought him (a lot of changing sides, huh?), he was elected president again in 1917 and made the Constitution of 1917 (which is the present Constitution of México).\n\nCarranza killed Zapata in 1919, Álvaro Obregón and Plutarco Elías Calles raised against Carranza (another side change) and killed Carranza in 1920, new elections were celebrated and Obregón was declared president. At that point there were still scattered battlers, according to some records, some people didn’t even know why or who they were fighting. Since the new Constitution declared the full separation of church and state, including in education, a new war started in 1926, the so called “Guerra Cristera”, which was basically a war between Catholic Church supporters and the laic government. This war ended around 1929.\n\nSo, for some, the revolution ended in 1920, with Carranza’s dead. For others it ended with la Guerra Cristera in 1929, for others it ended with Cárdenas taking power as president in 1934 and ultimately, for others, the revolution hasn’t ended yet.

Mexico was trying to seak independence from spain. But Spain won't allow it. At one time Spain comes to Mexico to check on their followers and they revolt.  They had it to show Spain that they will fight for their freedom.  Mexico was very outnumbered by the Spainiards but they still won the war, on the 5th of May. This is why they celebrate Cinco De Mayo.

The Mexican War between the United States and Mexico began with a Mexican attack on American troops along the southern border of Texas on Apr. 25, 1846. Fighting ended when U.S. Gen. Winfield Scott occupied Mexico City on Sept. 14, 1847; a few months later a peace treaty was signed (Feb. 2, 1848) at Guadalupe Hidalgo. In addition to recognizing the U.S. annexation of Texas defeated Mexico ceded California and , New Mexico (including all the present-day states of the Southwest) to the United States.

I don't know how the past can be used as a valid argument, it doesnt make sense. \n             Excerpt from the History Channel\n\n                   War with the U.S.\nThe residents of Texas, then under Mexican rule, had been angered in 1829 by a governmental decree abolishing slavery, and the plan by Santa Anna to centralize the government increased their resentment. Texas rebelled in 1836 and declared its independence after Santa Anna was decisively defeated by the Texan leader Sam Houston at San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. In 1846, as a result of friction between U.S. citizens and Mexicans, a dispute over the western boundary of Texas, and the desire of Americans to acquire California, the U.S. declared war on May 12 (see Mexican War). The Mexican forces were again routed, and U.S. troops occupied northern Mexico and, in 1847, Mexico City. Under the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo on Feb. 2, 1848, the Rio Grande was fixed as the boundary of Texas and the territory now forming the states of California and New Mexico became part of the U.S. The Gadsden Purchase in 1853 clarified the New Mexico boundary and gave an additional strip of territory (now southern Arizona and a slice of southwestern New Mexico) to the U.S. \n\nMexico was confronted with a grave reconstruction problem after the war. Finances were devastated, and the prestige of the government, already weak, had considerably diminished. Santa Anna, compelled to resign after the war, returned from exile in 1853 and, with Centralist support, declared himself dictator. Early in 1854 a liberal revolt began, and after more than a year of intensive fighting, Santa Anna fled from Mexico. The revolution was the first event in a long, fierce struggle between the powerful classes that had traditionally dominated Mexico and the liberal democrats who demanded a voice in the government.

That all really depends on your definition of "stole." Technically, the Mexican government signed the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, ceding all of the territories to which you refer in exchange for $15 million and ending the Mexican-American War. One could say, however, that the Mexican-American War was merely a pretext for taking all of the territory, and it is likely not far from the truth. Also, a large chunk of Arizona and a section of New Mexico were purchased after the stealing of the rest in 1853 as the Gadsden Purchase, in which the US paid Mexico $10 million, about $343,826,098 accounting for inflation.

Mexico most definitely DID NOT cede Texas to the US. Texas won her independence from Mexico in April of 1836 because President Santa Anna failed to live up to the terms of the Constitution of 1824.\n\nMost of the people who fought and died in the Texas Revolution were Mexican citizens. The majority of Texas' citizens - both Anglo and Hispanic alike - supported the Texans fight for independence.\n\nTexas was an independent Republic for ten years before joining the United States in 1846.\n\nInterestingly, when Texas won independence and joined the United States ten years later, Texas territory extended all the way up into Colorado. Do the illegal immigrants plan to recapture Colorado in their laughable plan to regain Aztlán???

Actually, it was in 1862.  Mexico owed a lot of money to Britain, France and Spain, so they agreed to invade to collect the debt.  Actually, France wanted to conquer and rule Mexico for its mineral wealth.  They invaded at Veracruz.\n\nThe Mexican forces won one of the early battles in this war on May 5, 1862, at Puebla, and that victory is celebrated to this day as Cinco de Mayo.

If it was it was stolen by Texans.  Texas won it's independence in 1836 and was the Texas Republic until 1845 when it joined the Union.  The Mexican-American War was not until after that.  Lincoln's single term in the U.S. Congress was from 1847-1849.  If it can be said that we stole any lands from Mexico as a result of the settlement of a war, could it not be said that Mexico had itself stolen these lands from Spain?  Then of course we all know who had them before that and had it stole from them as well.  Are we now trying to rewrite history books to make them politically correct without stepping on anyone's toes?

It's the date noted that Mexico declared it's independence from Spain... which technically occurred on September 15, 1810 but took the Mexican soldiers another 11 years to kick out the Spanish, French and English troops occupying Mexico.\n\nInterestingly enough, the major force of opposition was actually the French with the English and Spaniards quickly making deals and leaving.

There are speculation to the fact. But that is all they are; speculations. There is no hard proof to support it. The closest would be the Zimmerman Telegram from 1917. It was sent to the Mexican government and, if the US entered the war, ask if Mexico would join Germany and pursuade Japan to attack the US. In return, Mexico would get back Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico.

Can you give more information please?   Mexican Civil War  (Guerra de Revolucion) started in 1910, but the US Intervention War was around 1847.

The Mexican Cession is a historical name for the region of the present day southwestern United States that was ceded to the U.S. by Mexico in 1848 under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo following the Mexican-American War. The cession of this territory from Mexico was a condition for the end of the war. For the 38 years between 1810, when Mexico declared its independence from Spain, and 1848, the region had formed approximately one-third of the territory of Mexico; prior to that, it had been a part – albeit a remote one, largely without European settlement – of the Spanish colony of New Spain for some three centuries.
