The Mexican American War

Testimonies from the conflict that ended in September 1847 and changed US-Mexican relations forever.

In September 1847 American soldiers marched triumphantly into Mexico City. It was the end of a bloody conflict between the two nations, but the start of the first American occupation of a foreign capital. Mike Lanchin presents written testimonies from the time.
