Mexico refused to pay it's debts to us so we took what they owed to us through blood and soil

American generals forced Pancho Villa to sign the Mexican Versailles while pointing a gun to his head.

Also I have guns so they automatically lose.

Something something border skirmishes so USA invades Mexico, takes empty land owned by Mexico in name only, and then pays them for it like the good guys we are.

America claimed the southwest by right of conquest. Next tread.

I can't remember the exact figures. It there's was only a few thousand persons or so in the northern Mexican territories and they were colonising also.

Mexico thinks if the get California its country will be great again. Sadly if they get it the state will end up looking like Mexico a failed shithole of a country. Fuck Mexico. Parts of California already look like Mexico. There's homeless dogs roaming the street and it smells like burnt enchiladas.

>Before the war, Mexico was an empire from California to Costa Rica
>Texas fought for independence from Mexico
>Mexicans got booty-blasted about Texas
>The U.S. asked Texas to join
>Texas agrees and joins the U.S.
>Mexico's butthurt level has reached through the roof
>Mexicans invade Texas, kill Americans in U.S. soil
>U.S. react by BTFO Mexico for two years
>U.S. won, Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo signed, U.S. now own northern 2/3 of Mexico
>Mexico was forced to pay up all the mess
>Send cash to Mexico because we don't want to become bad guy for Mexico's failure

That's the TL;DR version of the Mexican-American War

>Be Mexico
>Comanche Indians making trouble in Aztlan
>Fight several wars with them and lose most, leaving the Mexicans living in Aztlan abandoned in their walled cities, at the mercy of savage tribes that scalp their enemies as trophies
>Problem gets so bad that Americans are invited into the territory to help clean them out
>Comanche savages get absolutely BTFO by Texan settlers and the whole area is pretty much cleaned out
>Mexico then tells the Texans to get out back to America so that the Mexicans can come in and live there
>Texans flip their shit, fight huge war for independence
>USA gets involved in the war
>Conquer all the territory all the way to California, Mexicans trapped in their cities by the Indians celebrate as the U.S. marches in
>Mexican army gets BTFO, and they are forced to give up Aztlan in the Treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo, but Indians had already killed almost all the Mexicans living there anyway
>Remaining Aztlan Mexicans are eventually deported to Mexico
>Indian tribes try to start the same shit they were doing with the Mexicans but get obliterated by U.S. forces and Wild West settlers.
>Two centuries later whine and complain about how the land was "stolen" from them, and that they will somehow get it back by being lazy shits living off the U.S. government
>Shocked when white Americans overwhelmingly vote for a new president who says he'll do something about the corrupt government the Mexicans leech off of
