Despite being settled in Texas by Mexico to create a buffer against Apache, Comanche, and Navajo raids, the growing Anglo-American population revolts in 1836 to create an independent Texas republic, sending Mexican general Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna into exile. Mexico refuses to recognize this republic and disputes its vast territorial claims to the Rio Grande River.. In 1845, Texas votes in favour of being annexed by the United States, greatly increasing tensions. In 1846, United States President James Polk sends an army under Zachary Taylor to invade northeastern Mexico. Taylor makes rapid progress, causing Santa Anna to return to lead the Mexican army. In March 1847, a second American army under Winfield Scott lands at Veracruz with the Mexican capital as his objective. Scott loses nearly one-third of his force in August, mostly from disease, before a short armistice comes into effect between the two sides. Scott then resumes the offensive against Santa Anna’s forces in front of Mexico City.. Tenochtitlan Marketplace. by Diego Rivera. . In the mural, Aztec merchants trade their wares the capital city. .
