What happened to Mexico?

Remember that one of the reasons people didn't want Texas to become part of the US was because of Mexico. Mexico was VERY unhappy that Texas joined the US.

They felt the US had "stolen" Texas and really wanted their land back.

The US believed that Texas was now "one of them" and wasn't about to give it back to Mexico.


There are two countries VERY angry with each other. So NOW what?
