Question

How did Mexico view the Mexican Cession at the end of the war?

Answer 1

Answer:

The war was seen by Mexicans as a foreign invasion with the aim of "stealing" territory -- it still is viewed as such more than 150 years later.

Also, the war meant a long period of indebtedness and political turmoil that lasted until the 1860's. This perceived weakness prompted the French Empire, led by Napoleon III, to invade Mexico. Napoleon's true aim was to prevent the rising of the United States as a world power by establishing a foothold in the Americas, and supporting the Confederate forces during the American Civil War. As a secondary objective, he was interested in exploiting the large silver, copper and iron mines located in northern Mexico.
