The video discusses the Mexican-American War of 1847, which took place after a long series of conflicts between the United States and Mexico. The war was lost automatically, because the U.S. took enemy leaders instead of the president of Mexico. The video also discusses the election of Sam Houston as the first president of the Republic of Texas, which was a result of the war.

00:00:00 This video is a conference commemorating the Mexican War of Independence, which took place between 1846-1848. The speaker, the Ambassador Walter Hasta Burgos, discusses the significance of the war and its aftermath.
00:05:00 The speaker discusses the reasons for the Mexican-American War of 1847, which began in the north but developed more fully a year later in the south. He points to a series of circumstances that led to the war, including U.S. expansionism and territorial ambitions, and British hesitation to cede territory. The war was fought mainly in Texas and California, with limited action in other areas. The speaker concludes that it is important to understand the underlying causes of the conflict, which went beyond simple disputes between the two countries.
00:10:00 The video discusses the history of the 1847 Mexican-American War, which was fought between Spain and the United States. The Americans won the war, which resulted in the annexation of Spanish territory in North America. This included all of what is now the United States and parts of what is now Canada. The video also discusses the original motivations for the war, which were financial and territorial.
00:15:00 The Spanish-American War of 1847 was fought between Spain and the United States over control of Florida and other territories in the Americas. The war was fought after the American Revolutionary War, and was in part a result of the American purchase of Florida from Spain in 1819. The war was fought mainly in Florida, with the Americans taking control in 1818 after a prolonged campaign.
00:20:00 The conference discusses the 1847 Mexican-American War, which was fought between the United States and Mexico over the territory now known as California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada. The war was caused by the United States' desire to settle the West and quash Mexican expansionism. France, an ally of Mexico, was instrumental in supplying the Mexican army with weapons and financing the war effort. The Americans, led by General George Washington, were also aided by Spanish and French soldiers, who were trained in the United States to fight against the British. The British were eventually defeated, leading to the eventual independence of the United States.
00:25:00 The speaker describes the history of Mexico's war of independence, which lasted 11 years and was brutal. The Spanish colonizers left after the war, and the country was left to its own devices. It was then ruled by a series of weak and unpopular presidents. However, Mexico's constitutional order never collapsed, allowing for a sustained economic and political expansion. This led to Mexico's current status as a powerful military and economic power. The speaker also mentions the unfulfilled ambitions and grandiose dreams of Mexico's founding fathers, which ended in disaster when Emperor Agustín de Iturbide was overthrown and executed.
00:30:00 The speaker discusses the war of 1847, which was fought between liberals and conservatives. The conservatives, who were in power at the time, had to pay the liberals and other government workers their salaries. The speaker notes that this created a lot of instability because people were born into a difficult situation due to the lack of basic necessities. The country became weak due to its own problems and, as a result, the ambitious Americans who were thriving in 1.821 came and took over Mexico. Mexico became a state-failed completely due to political instability. Economic development was slow and there was little progress made in terms of population and development. Colonists complained about lack of schools, churches, and potable water. The Apaches, who had originally come from the north, began to raid settlements in the center of Mexico. The government tried to solve the problem by inviting in European settlers, but this did not work. Mexico was eventually taken over by the United States in 1848.
00:35:00 In 1847, the Mexican-American War began as a result of the US's desire for more land. The war lasted for three years and resulted in the US gaining control of much of northern Mexico. The war also led to the displacement of many Mexican civilians and the influx of many American settlers. Despite this, many Religious Americans still desired to colonize the newly-acquired territory. As a result, a series of private businessmen were given the responsibility of bringing in settlers. These businessmen were required to be devout Catholics, and were not allowed to bring slaves with them. One of these businessmen was Moses Austin, who later passed his land holdings on to his son, Stephen. Austin's son, Stephen, then gave the land holdings to his cousin, Joseph McCoy, who in turn gave them to his cousin, James Fannin. Fannin then gave the land holdings to his brother-in-law, James Bowie. Eventually, these land holdings were combined to create the state of Texas. As a result, the Austin family played an important role in the development of Texas.
00:40:00 The speaker speaks about the first diplomatic envoy from the United States to Mexico, Joel Poinsett, and his work promoting Mexican independence movements in Argentina. Poinsett was later expelled from Mexico for his involvement in a plot to overthrow the government. This was a bad sign for relations between the two countries, as it demonstrated that the Mexican government was not interested in cooperating peacefully with the United States. The main topic of the talk is Poinsett's proposal to buy Mexican tequila for Mexican government officials, which would make it easier for Mexico to become part of the United States. Mexican politics and society were very different at the time, and the United States was not prepared for such a transition.
00:45:00 In 1847, President Jacques O'Neill of Mexico received a letter from an imprudent politician asking him to listen to him, as President of the Five Million men who say they will give him money, he can use part of it to bribe Mexican officials. O'Neill became angry and asked him, "You don't ask me these things, you're delegating it to me - I'm buying tiles and here's the money. What do you want me to do with it? I can use it to bribe nights, or not bribe me, but what do you want me to do with it? If the president were to promise to put it back in my house, I wouldn't care. But as it is, he's authorizing his own donations and that's that. I don't care what we give you a final opportunity to do - Mexico or marriage, it's not my problem. I'm half-dead from hunger and the frost, but I have slaves here who work for me. This isn't Catholic, and I'm Protestant. We're building our Protestant church here, and other things. The government isn't giving us schools, so we're building our own Protestant school to educate our children that they're Protestants, not Mexicans anymore
00:50:00 The conference discusses the Mexican-American War of 1847, which 170 years later is still remembered and studied. The Mexican-American War was fought to protect America's interests in Mexico, and was a diplomatic disaster. The only legacy of the war is that General Santana, who fought in it, fell in love with a Mexican flower girl and took her with him when he returned to Mexico. She grew flowers there and he named them after his favorite American presidents, Point Zeta (George Bush). After the war, Santana took charge of the post-war reconstruction in Mexico. He was later assassinated.

The video discusses the Mexican-American War of 1847, which ended with the Mexicans renouncing hostilities. The speaker gives a speech commemorating the war and urging Mexicans to negotiate in good faith and remember their successes in order to face current challenges.

01:00:00 In 1847, Texas declared itself an independent republic. However, within two or three years, the country was embroiled in several wars with its neighbors, and eventually lost its independence. The speaker explains that the independence of Texas was not a simple matter, and that it was ultimately a pragmatic decision by the British government in order to maintain good relations with its clients, America and Mexico. After the wars were over, the speaker says that the Texans were not willing to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining the country, and that it fell to the Mexicans to take on that responsibility. The speaker also warns the audience that if Texas ever attempts to re-take its territory, they will face retaliation from the United States.
01:05:00 In this speech, the speaker talks about the 1847 Mexican-American War and how it led to the eventual incorporation of Texas into the United States. He also mentions how the war was a political and territorial conflict between the northern and southern states, which had been created since the country's independence. The speaker goes on to say that, despite 10 years of non-action, the issue of Texas' incorporation was finally resolved with the war of secession in 1846.
01:10:00 The speech given by Mexican President Felipe Calderón in 2016 commemorating the 170th anniversary of the Mexican-American War discusses the ignorance that led to the war, Germany's role, and the mistake of the United States joining the war. He also warns of the consequences of the United States' current policies towards Mexico.
01:15:00 The Mexican-American War of 1847 was fought because the US believed that Mexico was becoming too powerful and was encroaching onto American territory. The war was fought between the US and Mexico, with the US coming out on top. The Mexican-Americans who lived in Texas (a Mexican state at the time) were forced to choose sides and, eventually, joined the US. The war ended with Mexico's defeat and, as a result, they were not allowed to join any other country. The Mexican-Americans who did not join the US were left feeling abandoned and frustrated.
01:20:00 The video discusses the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848, which started after a Mexican ship, the "mail," was found at the Cuban port of Havana. It is revealed that there were two main factions in the Mexican-American War: the Republican faction, led by General Zachary Taylor, and the Democratic faction, led by General James Polk. The Republican faction argued that the war was being waged in order to protect American blood spilled on Mexican soil, while the Democratic faction argued that the war was being waged in order to annex Texas and other territories. The video discusses the vote in Congress to declare war, which was approved by a majority of 174 in favor and 14 opposed. The vote in the Senate was slightly different, with 40 in favor and two opposed. The one vote against the war was that of Senator Abraham Lincoln, who risked his political career by opposing it. The video then goes on to discuss the beginning of the war, which saw American troops cross into Mexican territory. The battle of Buena Vista was one of the first major engagements of the war.
01:25:00 In 1847, the Mexican-American War began when U.S. forces attacked Mexico in an attempt to take control of Texas and other Mexican territories. Mexican forces were led by General Santa Anna and defended their territory with rocks, spears, and fists, but were eventually defeated and subjugated. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which granted U.S. victory in the conflict and ended the Mexican-American War. The video explains the Mexican-American War and how the Mexican army was unable to resist U.S. forces, despite using traditional Mexican tactics. President Paul P. Gettysburg was criticized for not preparing for the war, which resulted in high numbers of U.S. casualties but low Mexican casualties. The war was eventually resolved when U.S. forces captured Mexico City in 1867. The video ends with President Gettysburg announcing that the war has been won and the war is now over. He then appoints General Winfield Scott as the new commander of U.S. forces in Mexico.
01:30:00 In 1847, General Santiago "El Sabio" Santana led Mexican troops to victory in the Battle of La Angostura, which ended the Mexican-American War. The victory cemented Santana's reputation as a military genius. Santana's success in the war led to disagreements with the United States, which considered him a traitor for his repeated offers of peace and his refusal to serve under American command. In 1848, Santana led Mexican troops into California, where they defeated American forces at the Battle of Churubusco. The following year, he led Mexican troops to victory in the Battle of Cerro Gordo, which effectively ended the war. Santana's achievements won him a hero's welcome upon his return to Mexico City in 1849. However, the war continued to be waged on a sporadic basis, with no clear victor. In 1851, Santana led Mexican troops into Veracruz, where they captured the city and defeated American forces. The war finally came to an end with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which granted the United States most of what it had wanted. Santana's military successes made him a national hero in Mexico, and he was eventually given a monument
01:35:00 The Mexican-American War was fought between 1846 and 1848. The Mexican-Americans were initially successful in defeating the United States, but were eventually defeated. The war was a tragic loss for Mexico, as it lost territory and many soldiers. The successful generals who led the Mexican army were later executed by the new government. The war was also a loss for the United States, as it lost many soldiers and territory.
01:40:00 The speaker discusses the Mexican-American War of 1847, which ended with the Mexican government's renunciation of hostilities. He says that, in order to represent themselves with dignity, Mexicans must negotiate in good faith, as if they were going to win. The speaker also says that it is very difficult to represent Mexico with dignity before other nations, and that the current government of Mexico is the most difficult to represent of all. The speaker concludes by saying that, with new Mexico and California under their control, the Americans are now in a position to conquer all of Mexico. Mexicans should not be naive and think that the United States will give them what they want without any fight. The speaker asks for the Americans' help in seizing control of the north and concludes by saying that, with the populated cities in their grasp, the Americans will eventually be able to rid themselves of Mexicans.
01:45:00 The peace treaty between Mexico and the United States was signed on September 28, 1848. The treaty was controversial because it allowed for the United States to annex much of Mexico, including the capital city of Mexico City. The treaty was signed by Mexican General Mariano Paredes y Arrillaga and United States General Winfield Scott.
01:50:00 The speaker discusses the 1847 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War. The treaty was signed under pressure from American occupation, and was considered a victory for the Americans. The speaker points out that the treaty was beneficial to Mexico, but harmful to the Americans. The speaker asks Mexican citizens to remember the events of the war and the importance of geopolitics. He emphasizes the importance of remembering past successes in order to face current challenges.
