When did the United States surpasse the Latin American states. Specifically I am interested in military affairs, I would be curious how an 1830s Mexico would up in a war with the US.
In the 1830s, the US and Mexico barely shared a frontier.

In terms of populated area no but in terms of actual size it was quite large.
Considering 1830's Mexico couldn't even manage to hold onto Texas, I'm going to wager that the US was always militarily superior.
