Résumé
This thesis is about the American Mexican War that took place between 1846 and 1848. This Armed conflict between the two neighbouring countries of North America sparked off from three causes. The first one is concerned with the United States’ desire and need to expand its border from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. The Second cause of this conflict is the American settlement in the Mexican province of Texas and the Conflict that arouse later on between the American settlers and the Mexican authorities. This conflict led to the Texas war of independence and the Annexation of That area to the United States. The third cause consists of the American pecuniary claims against Mexico which added to further complication of the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The failure to settle these disputes led to the outbreak of an armed conflict which lasted for two years and in which the United States’ Army defeated the Mexicans and compelled them to sign the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo which put an end to the War. By this Treaty, the United States of America gained a huge territory stretching to the Pacific Ocean. Apart from this, the war had other consequences on both countries.
