I'm not sure with the dates, but there are some ones:\n\n1) Independence war from Spain (1810-1821) WON!\n2) Spanish attempt to reconquer Mexico (1829) WON!\n3) Mexico-Texas war (independence) (1835)Betrayed... lost :(\n4) "Cake's war": Mexico v.s. Spain, England and France... lost!!! That was mostly a financial war, so we had to pay a lot of debts... (1838)\n6) USA Intervention (1846) ... LOST (what did americans really wanted???!!! Gezz!!!)\n5) French Intervention (1864) WON!!!Whoa!!! Napoleon III, the ruler of the world, sure learned his lesson!!! Plus, we're the first (and perhaps only) american country who killed an Emperor (Maximilian of Habsburg).\n6) Mexican revolution (1910-1920). WON? LOST?... who knows??? Yeah, the civil war. We had a dictatorship... so we're still arguing if the revolution was favorable or not.\n7) USA's invasion to Veracruz Port (1914). LOST!!! What??? Mexican polices arrest an american officer for carrying a weapon without permission and uncle sam's answer is to blow up an entire city??? Gezzz!!! (Well, I guess the Empire was really worried Mexico had excellent relationships with Germany and Japan and awesome military technology before 1st. World War started ;))\n8) Second world war (1942). WON!!! Yup. Mexico, humbly but firmly collaborated with the north american armies. Because of collaborating with winner's wing, we had economical growth after the war ended.

The border was "open" up until the 1880s. Of course, the open Mexican border at that time was "unofficial," but the American southwest was so wide open that mexican immigration was not a political issue.

In 1916, Francisco Villa, leader of the peasant uprisings in northern Mexico, raided Columbus, New Mexico, in an attempt to expose Mexican government collaboration with the United States. President Woodrow Wilson responded by ordering an invasion of Mexico. Five years after the beginning of the Mexican Revolution, which was characterized by hope for social change as well as death, hunger, and violence, many Mexicans did not welcome further involvement by the U.S. In the following correspondence, Secretary of State Robert Lansing and President Wilson described the need to carefully frame the invasion as a defense of U.S. borders rather than interference in the Mexican Revolution. The resulting invasion, led by General John Pershing, was a total fiasco. It failed to locate Villa and increased anti-U.S. sentiment and Mexican nationalist resolve. \n\n\n\nGo here for more information \n\nhttp://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/4947/

The US-Mexican war happened between 1846 to 1848.  As a consequence of the war the United States acquired the northern half of Mexico. This area later became the U.S. states of California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.\n\nThe defeat of Mexico was the first time an enemy force occupied the capitol of the nation. The French would also occupy Mexico City in the 1860's\n\nRelations between the United States and Mexico remained tense for many decades to come, with several military encounters along the border.

I assume you mean the Mexican American War?\n\nThe primary cause of the Mexican American War was the US's admission of Texas as a State.  This is the main reason why Texas remained independent for nine years.  Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836, but was not admitted to the Union until 1845.\n\nAfter Texas' independence, Mexico threatened war with United States if the US made it a state.  Between 1936 and 1845, the growing Manifest Destiny movement, culminating with the election of James K. Polk, wanted war with Mexico to expand the boarders of the United States to the Pacific Ocean.\n\nSome of the results of the Mexican American War we are still feeling today.  Mexico lost 2/3 of its land to the US, but there is misinterpreted clause in the Treaty of Guadalupe that illegal immigrants claim allows them to live and work in the United States.  Basically, the treaty guarantees the right of Mexicans that lived in Mexico's territories ceded to the US to live and work in the new US territories, and after a year become US Citizens.  Today, many illegal immigrants mistakenly claim that gives them the right to enter, live, and work in the US.  However, this right was only given to Mexicans who lived in the ceded territories at the time the treaty was signed.\n\nMany people may feel that this grave injustice done to Mexico justifies allowing waves of illegal immigrates to stay in the US.  However, what most people fail to realize is that you cannot look at a treaty signed over 150 years ago and apply today's standards to it.  The world has changed dramatically since than; furthermore, in the land purchased from Mexico by the US, a condition of the treaty, there were very few Mexicans actually living in that territory.  The vast major of the population of those territories were indigenous Indians, who did not speak Spanish and had little or no contact or loyalty to Mexico.

The Aztecs, or more properly, the Mexicas, for whom the later Republic of Mexico was named, were a Mesoamerican people of central Mexico in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. They were a civilization with a rich mythology and cultural heritage. Their capital was Tenochtitlan, built on raised islets in Lake Texcoco – the site of modern-day Mexico City. The Aztec empire produced the biggest demographic explosion in Mesoamerica: the population grew from an estimated 10 million to 15 million.

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.\n\nIt includes all of the present-day states of California, Nevada, and Utah, as well as the portions of:\n\nArizona excluding the region later annexed in the Gadsden Purchase \nColorado west of the boundary of the former Republic of Texas \nNew Mexico west of the Rio Grande and excluding the Gadsden Purchase \nWyoming west of the former Republic of Texas boundary and south of the 42nd parallel. \nThe treaty also specified the U.S.-Mexican border as being at the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte). Previously the portion of Texas between the Nueces River and the Rio Grande had remained disputed throughout the existence of the Republic of Texas. The United States had already claimed the area as part of the Texas Annexation in 1845.

Alot of info. you are wanting... Vietnam combat -yes 1965 president L.B.J. (Johnson), a democrat. Korean conflict (War) started under under Truman, a democrat (the first part of this question is unclear). Troops were pulled out of Korea in 1953 under Eisenhower. The Spanish-American war was actually the 19Th century, began in 1898 and ended about a year later. Intelligent questions deserve intelligent answers. deserving of points?

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.

The war between the U.S. and Mexico. The White settlers were being attacked by Mexicans & Indians since they were settling in areas they previously controled. But the Whites kept comming and fought back and eventually the U.S. government even helped out. After the Mexicans had their arses whipped they agreed (in return for us giving them back the capital - Mexico city that we occupied) to give us land that today makes up the 7 Southwestern States the mestizos want back. So in that war the U.S. gainged more territory for the White man than any other war we fought or via any other way. However the mestizos are getting it back since we are not defending it anymore. The war with Mexico was in 1848 to 1850 I think.

From wikipedia:\n\n"The Battle of the Alamo was a 19th-century battle between the Republic of Mexico and the rebel Texan forces during the Texas Revolution. It took place at the Alamo mission in San Antonio, Texas (then known as "San Antonio de Béxar") in February and March of 1836. The 13-day siege ended on March 6 with the capture of the mission and the death of nearly all the Texan defenders, except for a few slaves, women and children. Despite the loss, the 13-day holdout allowed Sam Houston to gather troops and supplies for his later successful battle at San Jacinto."
