  1.  @JCarlosCS1221  The funny thing is most countries would do the same if they had the capability to do so. Do you honestly think Mexicans were the natives of that place? They just stole the land from Spain that had previously been stolen from the natives. I am pretty sure the natives of the land stolen by Mexico can name a certain negative intervention from Spain. Unfortunately that's just how it goes, the strong will conquer the weak and the winners will write history.

  2.  @JCarlosCS1221  ​ I was just pointing out that technically it was never their land to begin with. It's hard to accuse someone of stealing something that was never yours to begin with. In a perfect world it would have still belonged to the indigenous peoples before Spain came along. In the end yeah that land was never America's but it's not like Mexico were the original owners of it either. Also I am pretty sure that Santa Anna would have had no problem whatsoever to take American lands if the situation was reversed, the guy was power-hungry as F.

  3. So basically Spain stole the land from the native population, then Mexico stole the stolen land from Spain and in the end the US stole the land that Mexico stole from Spain that Spain had stolen from the native population? Considering all the Mexicans trying to get across the border to immigrate into the US I'd say the US would have saved a lot of people a lot of problems if they just annexed the whole country.

  4. They lost their capital to a force of 5000 men, maybe they would've but then again probably not.
