How exactly was the Mexican-American war justified?

How exactly was the Mexican-American war justified?

We wanted your clay.

Progress means manifest destiny. All of North American belongs to the United States.

Santa Ana was retarded and Americans were greedy batards. Plus, it was your fault that you allowed them to come to Texas in the first place.

Because victors write history. Exactly like the holohoax

Mexicans fired on American troops in disputed territory instead of being diplomatic about it because they wanted to act tough for their populace. You could say it wasn't justified if the US fired the first shot, but we didn't.

To the victor goes the spoils.
Doesn't matter if it was justified.

Tejas wanted that White American dick, not smelly beaner paste.

When the spanish left we got their territories, but most of them were not very happy with the situation in the country. Santa Ana gave them away because they weren't basically controlled by the government.

False

>False
Literally true. Even common Mexican historiography doesn't dispute it. You got your ass handed to you in a war that YOU started over territory that both states had reasonable claim to.

Han shit first.

does it matter if it was justified?

hint: strong nations do unjustified, unfair shit all the time and get away with it.

It was our rightful clay, in the name of kek.

Manifest Destiny, motherfucker.

It's not like you were using that land. Mexico is a mess and pretty much always has been a mess

You were a country no one cared about, and you had clay we wanted, be glad we let you keep as much of your shithole country as we did.

Remember the Alamo
Remember Goliad
Fuck Santa Ana
You'll never get your fucking leg back Mexico

False

You don't just get to say "false" and make it false. I don't know of any historian that disputes the fact that Mexico fired the first shots of the conflict during the Thornton Affair.

We wanted your shit so we fabricated a cause to take it.

>Texas annexed by USA
>USA says border of Texas is X
>Mexico says no it was Y, and always was Y
>petty dispute from since Texas' independence
>both eventually say "fuck it" and duke it out for who owns Texas up to what point
>Mexico wrecked so hard that USA demands rest of Mexican colonies for Manifest destiny
>Mexico goes "ok"

the end.

Just be thankful to the almighty USA you were paid some small pittance for the land we took from you.

This
But Santa Ana wasnt retarded, just in a very shitty situation with a country in internal conflict

In 1844 James K. Polk, the newly-elected president, made a proposition to the Mexican government to purchase the disputed lands between the Nueces River and the Rio Grande. When that offer was rejected, troops from the United States commanded by Major General Zachary Taylor were moved into the disputed territory of Coahuila. These troops were then attacked by Mexican troops, killing 12 American troops and taking 52 prisoners. These same Mexican troops later laid siege to a US fort along the Rio Grande.[8] This would lead to the conflict that resulted in the loss of much of Mexico's northern territory.
