The Mexican-American War

      The Mexican-American War lasted from April 25, 1867 to February 2, 1848.  By the end of the conflict the United States suffered 13,283 casualties while Mexico losses are estimated at 25,000.  Mexico would also lose 55% of its territory, roughly 525,000 miles and the United States was now a nation that extended from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.  Since the war, the United States and Mexico have been on two very distinct paths of fortune, paths that have their roots in the Mexican-American War.
