He uses references, footnotes, and numerous direct quotes to provide the reader with a unique perspective on a series of intriguing events that drastically altered the course of two nations; both of which still live with the remaining consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHumberto Garza's questions are intriguing: Why were historical figures such as Commodore Stockton, Commodore Sloat, Consul Thomas O. Larkin, and General Kearny ensuring all territories of Mexico (Alta California, New Mexico, and the Southeast) for the United States in July 1846, just two months after Congress authorised President Polk \"to join an existing war\"? How did they know that the American Invasion of Mexico had begun?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to end the war was signed on February 2, 1848, almost two years later—how did they know the outcome of the war and what were the agreements of the Treaty to cede territory? Garza presents a unique and stimulating perspective on the actual causes of the American Invasion of Mexico. He boldly questions the validity of claims presented by various American historians regarding the events that incited this war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGarza's research re-examines the reasons for the United States invading Mexico and what truly happened in the Thornton Affair. He also re-evaluates the maps pertinent to this war and explains historical discrepancies concerning the \"disputed territory\" in Texas, the Thornton Affair, and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849401356524,"sku":"9781543989632","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19889093482737.jpg?v=1759045045","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/la-invasin-americana-en-mexico-1846-1848-by-humberto-garza-9781543989632","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
