I mean, Russia is kinda doing this in eastern ukraine right now. They’re moving troops towards the border which is usually a sign a war will ensue. However, Russia experts believe that Russia is trying to get Ukraine to fire the first shot so that Russia would have a “just” cause for war. This would also make it more difficult for NATO countries to then back Ukraine via military involvement, since it’d be viewed as joining the side which started the war. Even though you could argue Russia is trying to start a war without firing a shot. Point being every major superpower or regional power has done this at one time or another. Countries are run by either borderline narcissists or narcissists who want to make an impact on their society. And they’re willing to do a lot to succeed. Even so called “just leaders” are a bunch of narcissists. If you think you can lead over a million people/people should listen to you and trust you to do the right thing, then you’re not someone I’d trust. But, sadly, humans and primates are kinda messed up, it’s just we’re a lot smarter than chimps.

Who ever made up that quote was historically challenged. It was actually Mexico who crossed the borders on inherent lands of the Navaho, Comanche, Caddo, Kiowa, Piaut , Shasta, Chumash, Pueblo and other northern tribes in today's USA. The Comanche and Kiowa constantly fought the Sonorans and Sinaloans. Fierce warrior tribes who were feared in those villages in today's northern Mexico who's lands were left in shreds by northern tribes.... Truth is Mexico had only been a nation for 25 years before the Mexican War and Mexico claimed its lands under its Estados Unidos Mexicanos constitution of 1824. Spain never acknowledged Mexican independence and Spains King refused to sign the Treaty of Cordova so Spain never treatied any lands over to Mexico. In fact under Mexico's first Apatzingan constitution, California, New Mexico which included Arizona, Texas were not Mexico. Today Mexico is what is left after the USA returned half of Mexico by the Treaty of GH. So "Mexico" since its beginning had been neither here or there. Until both the USA and Mexico negotiated a border. So that quote you mention is pretty ridiculous...

This is the first time I've seen a gringo tell the truth about what happened. It angers me that the US always acts all high and mighty regarding the actions of Russia and other countries when they have behaved like this since the birth of their nation. How they acted towards Spain (who helped them gain independence) in Cuba, to get Puerto Rico and the Philippines. The atrocities they commited against catholic, spanish speaking Filipinos in order to "civilize" them. The genocide of native Americans, of which they always accuse Spain, but never give an explanation to why there are only 1% of indians left in the US, but there are MILLIONS south of the border. The coups in Hispanic America, the racism, slavery of black people, the arrogance of calling themselves "Americans" as if the whole continent belonged only to them. I could go on, but you get the idea. I accept that the US is the most powerful country in the world, but I don't accept their fantasy of being a "shining city upon a hill" when they have such a violent and common (for empires) history. So, I congratulate you. Great video and thanks for telling the truth.

Did the movie explain that California and all the SW were under Mexico's rule for only 25 years, known as the SW Mexican Period. That's about the extent of "was once Mexico"... There was no Mexico or Mexican before 1824. California, Texas and New Mexico got their names from Spain starting in 1550 to become territories of New Spain through Spains explorations by land and sea. "California" was a mythological tale in Spain extended to the New World. Texas was named after Louisiana Caddo tribes. California and New Mexico extended to Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona lands all claimed by Spain. What are today NM, TX, CA were colonized by Spain. Towns like Santa Fe, Taos (Don Fernando), Albuquerque, Socorro, El Paso, San Antonio, Nachotiches, San Diego, San Francisco, Monte Rey were early Spanish Colonial settlements 1598-1770 of the Spanish Colonial Period of 250 years up to 1821. Nevada, Utah, Colorado were not colonized during the Spanish Period. The Amerindians were northern tribes as Shasta, Chumash, Mohave, Piaute, Shoshone, Ute, Pueblo, Comanche, Caddo, Kiowa, Navajo, Apache Pawnee and many more. Mexico/Mexican were late arrivals to the SW after 1824. It was Mexican officials who transplanted north after Mexican independence 1821-1848 Mexican Period. Generally Mexicans didn't migrate north until post Mexican War years approx 1880, after USA westward movement, and after the US government quelled the thousands of unconquered tribes in the SW, and placing in reservations. Mexicans established towns in CA, NM, TX border areas. Americans, settlEd in CA and NM 1821; and TX shortly after, with Mexican issued land grant settlements as Texas was vast unpopulated lands and Mexico needed settlers. Trains, the 1910 Mexican Revolution brought more Mexicans. Americans built the SW, Americans influenced the SW as well as Mexican and Chinese in California. Mexicans were deported in the 1950s. There were not a high percent of Mexicans in California until the turn of the 21st century with uncontrolled illegal migration. Mexicans are immigrants to the USA and do not share an indigenous tribal heritage to northern tribes who are not Mexican. And Mexicans ancestors are not rooted in California, New Mexico or Texas. No parts of the SW are ancestrally Mexico. I didn't see the Hollywood movie, but sure it didn't go into SW history. My guess is its an immigrants story...

In the first place, the lands were claimed by tribes for centuries, Texas was claimed by France, lands were Spains for over 250 years, Texas Republic. And Mexico for barely 25 years. In fact, Mexico became a country only 200 years ago in 1824. Mexico did not inherit Spains lands, there was never a Treaty from Spain who did not recognize independence or surrender New Spain. The attempted Treaty of Cordoba was never signed by Spains monarch. The USA conquered Mexico, and Mexicans migrated illegally to USAs borders after the Mexican War and signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. In fact it was the USA westward movement that incentivized Mexicans migration north. Before the USA, Mexicans had no need for Texas, New Mexico or California which was just an uninhabitable barren wilderness with unconquered Indians ready to attack anyone not of their tribe... Unless within USA borders legally and mass forced illegal entry, it is an invasion... It was Americans who governed, beautified and developed California and the SW.

@Royal Bengal Tiger Mexico is racist, starting with the Spanish/Indian conflicts and caste system. And before that tribe against tribe. Even today, Mexicans boast about their whiteness, others of their Indian blood. There would have been no African slaves if African merchants had not sold their own to other nations. Slavery in Africa was a booming business centuries ago. Racism in the United States is not what it was 150 years ago. Not all were slave owner's, in fact the nation went into the Civil War over freedom for slaves, segregation helped the Black to develop themselves to independence setting their own businesses, etc in their own communities, Civil Rights, and today they have every right under the law as any other American. In the US, any racism that still exists is politically motivated and racism works the other way around. Can't be that bad as immigrants of all colors are pouring into US borders.

There were many other reasons why the US didn't annexed all of Mexico. Racism wasn't the only reason. It wasn't even one of the main reasons. The US wasn't quite ready to control such a big territory. Everybody in Congress knew this and that's why they didn't annexed all Mexico.

I visited San Diego recently. I took the bus where they tell you the "history of the city" and I was shocked that they didn't mention anything about the land being part of Mexico once. They focused on the business men who invested to build the city. Something like "before them, this was empty". It's really sad how they don't even acknowledge the fact that it was taken from Mexico. I felt like they just wanted to erase that part of history. Great video! Thanks for the hard work on this research.

California was claimed and founded by Spain, Spaniards approx 1540. Colonized by Spain in 1770 and belonged to Spain for almost 275 years. Mexico claimed California for only 25 years, California not ancestrally Mexico. In fact Americans settled in California 1821 just about the same time Mexican government officials took over California from Spain. Many Americans migrated to California after the Mexican War with the US westward movement. Mexican and Chinese were also immigrating at this time. But it was the 1910 Mexican Revolution that attracted Mexicans to the north escaping Mexico's government instabilities. While Spain founded the first Spanish Colonial settlements to guard California against Russian claims in an isolated wilderness desert in northern New Spain, with a few years of Mexican intervention 1821-1846 during which Mexico quasi controlled California which was not part of Mexico's main; it was the United States who made modern California what it today.

​​@@damarindo Spain did not recognize Mexican independence and Spains King refused to sign the Treaty of Cordova. Spain did not Treaty any lands over to Mexico. Mexico claimed its lands on paper, under its 1824 Estados Unidos Mexicanos constitution. One may consider stolen as Mexico Treaty'd lands over to the USA describing a border, lands and water's. There was no such description of lands under any agreement when Mexico took Spains lands. Under Mexico's first Apatzingan constitution, California, New Mexico/Arizona and Texas were not Mexico. So Mexico's borders changed 4 times within fourty years; from no border as there was no Mexico, then the lands under Apatzingan constitution, then the 1824 constitutional border, and the 1848 border. All in all from later 1800s California had its share of immigrants; Americans, Mexicans, Chinese, Japanese and Philippines up to earlier 1900s. And California had been settled by Americans early on during the SW Mexican Period which started in 1821. Mexican soldiers were given Mexican land grants during this Period to encourage settlers, they were few as California was very distant, isolated wilderness and conditions were as uninhabitable as during the Spanish Period, very difficult to settle with dangerous unconquered raiding Indians. Americans were the most population and built Californias infrastructure. Bottom line is Mexicans were not ancestrally rooted in California, they were late arrivals in the 1800s as were Anglo Americans. European Spain was the claimant, settler and founder of early California. It was the USA government who subjugated the Indians..

@@adom6750 Follow the history. NewMexico which included Arizona, Texas and California were sparsely populated by colonists and the tribes were unconquered. You are conflating the Spanish Colonial settlers in the SW since 1598 and northern tribes as Shasta, Chumash, Pueblo. Mohave, Piaut, Kiowa, Caddo, Comanche, Apache, Ute , Navaho with peoples from Chihuahua, Sinaloa and anywhere south of there who had no ancestral roots in anywhere today's USA. There was no Mexico until 1824, under the Estados Unidos Mexicanos constitution which claimed its states and provinces, the citizens became Mexican citizens including any American living within the Mexican Republic. For the SW citizens up to 1824 had lived under the 250 Spanish Colonial Period 1598-1821 and then the Mexican Period up to 1846. During the Mexican Period it was basically Mexican officials who transplanted north. Generally Chihuahuans, Sinaloans or another South of there did not go north. Texas was vast lands, unpopulated and Mexico needed people so Mexico brought in Americans under land grants. Come 1846 the Mexican War, there were hardly any Mexicans to battle Americans in New Mexico. Same with California and Texans, Mexico had to bring in Mexicans from miles away to battle Americans. The bulk of Mexican citizens were far off from the isolated north and uninterested in a barren wilderness provinces, uninhabitable dangerous living conditions with unconquered warrior Indians. "Mexico" was a Johnnie come late, not until 1824 to CA, NM, TX. After the War and Treaty, these were annexed lands, now under the USA, its citizens were allowed to stay in their SW homeland, became American after 1848. So they had been "Mexican" for only 25 years. As far as Texas, it became its own independent Republic after battles, as Mexico broke its constitution and they were living under no laws. Mexicans began migrating to border areas after 1880. Their roots and ancestral ties were south of the border. Mexico itself was more interested in money instead of an unincorporated wilderness it was unable to manage. It was the USA movement west that attracted Mexicans north after living conditions improved by United States quelling Indians, placing in reservations. Descendents of Spanish colonists and northern tribes are not crying over Mexico, 25 years is nothing, a mountain of a molehill and CA, NM, TX are not ancestrally Mexico. Why some Mexicans cry over lands that their ancestors of centuries ago never claimed is beyond reason....

You forgot to mention that when Texas revolted against the Central Mexican government several other Mexican states did too... This happened because the Mexican government overturned the Constitution of 1824 and Mexico transformed from a federalist system similar to the US to a centralized quasi-dictatorship (hence the flag at the Alamo)... Santa Anna crushed all the other rebellions as he marched north, but his luck ran out at San Jacinto where he was lucky to escape the hangman by agreeing to Texas independence.

What this very left leaning creator fails to mention, is that President Polk was a Democrat (the one he labelled a "racist") and that President Lincoln was the first Republican president, you know, the guy who emancipated the slaves. Also, we were invited here for a reason - to create a buffer between Mexico and the absolute scourge of the Great Plains; the barbarous Comanches. Mexico didn't bother coming this far north to police the place properly. The Anglos were allowed to bring the slaves (not that, that was a good thing), and they were Mexican Citizens, called "Texians", not Americans. The Hispanic Texians were called Tejanos. The Tejanos and several Indian tribes ALL rose up and fought with us against Mexico, when they tried to disarm us. This was an internal Mexican Revolution, against it's own Mexican government, just 12 years after Mexico "stole" Mexico from Spain. That would be a great video, but I don't think it would be Anti-American enough for the obviously Marxist creator of this video, who is trying to re-write history, instead of completely explain it. One last thing, the last time I checked, Mexico was a sovereign nation. It wasn't stolen. They lost pieces of it, and Texas was for mismanagement.

Steven Hoskins Well...the first ones to abolish slavery and presented ideals for American union were the Republican Party...the Democratic Party...not so much, political views were very polarized. I wouldn’t call him a Marxist based on a few minutes of facts he summarized, history is recorded from different points of view, and different records that match or share common ground eventually become history (just as it happened with the modern bible, many parts were deleted because they were apocryphal), and in recent years it IS a fact that Mexico is considered a sovereign nation, thing is, the constitution changed so much since Mexican independence, so much that the centralization and decentralization of power created total chaos, so much that the dates when the Mexican laws should’ve been applied took longer, so the ones that really knew history were the ones that lived it. There’s a few data kept secret from both sides, just like there are secrets in the library of the Vatican. It’s a KZfaq video, on history, not a lecture, the color grey exists. Also, there were a few issues in Mexico not mentioned that very few know in history; there was a war on race (guerra de castas) on the southern peninsula growing and growing, so the army had lost many men and kept loosing them, the Comanches on the north and the Rebel Mayans on the south (the Mayan war began before the official dates), also the conflicts in Guatemala and the regions that were in constant dispute because they wanted to join the Mexican side in the south but never got an answer because the country’s policies were always on violent dispute between liberals and conservatives. Just an opinion.

Many of you overlook, and so did the video author, that Mexico was massive. they had simply claimed the land as theirs despite having no ability to defend it. In ALL of world history, if you can't keep it, it will be taken. When the Texas revolution broke out, Santa Anna's army was so far away from any Mexican support, that it could barely be resupplied and reinforced. The Mexican army won several battles, Gonzalez, Bexar, Refugio, and eventually the Alamo. However, at the Alamo, Texas 300 or so defenders managed to severely weaken the Mexican Army, causing anywhere between 600-2000 casualties. After that Santa Anna's army faced off with General Houston and lost. The author also failed to mention that Santa Anna was elected president in 1832 and then overturned the Constitution of 1824 not long after being elected. He became a dictator, and American settlers did not like dictators. Please seek both sides to any historical discussion.

​A war Mexico lost fair and square. In fact Mexico just claimed the lands under its 1824 constitution. Mexico was fortunate to sell the lands for 25 million dollars, lands 25 years earlier belonged to Spain which did not transfer the lands to Mexico as there was no Treaty, Spains Crown refused to recognize independence or sign the Treaty of Cordova. Under the first 1814 constitution Apatzingan, CA, NM, TX were not Mexico. These territories never fought for independence or fully accepted Mexico as the sovereign. CA, NM/AZ, Texas were not ancestrally Mexico. 25 years is nothing but rubbish.....

Not to be insulting but it wasn’t just slaves, the president Santa Anna had been making moves forcing Texans to pay higher taxation and give up their arms cache to defend against native attacks. He also imprisoned a Texan falsely for 2 years. Mexico was not a shining star either, they had constant revolt during the 1820s and 1830s and it was not at all peaceful

This is tough part of Mexican history to teach, and learn, in Mexico at school. As Mexican, I can say this has been a sour episode of our history, but I wanted to highlighted that this was key to create the concept of Mexico as national state beyond the pre-Columbian culture and the Hispanic inheritance. I’d also like to highlight the fact that we Mexicans haven’t held grudges to our neighbours in the north and I think we’re great hosts with them in their multiple vacations and business trips to our country despite losing half of our former territory with USA. I’ve been follower of Vox for years and more recently of this channel and I have to say that this video is incredibly honest and critical coming from a US citizen (note that I avoided to say American).

Simply put everyone is the same fucking species. There were civilizations to the tip of South America THOUSANDS of year before there were any humans in Europe. Fast forward, the US is a young country with a society regulated by selfish politicians who make it a business. So society, people of every culture, are only really taught what will benefit they're management of the country for years ahead. That's why we learn more of the past online. And México has its own shit to deal with. They don't have time or power to make enemies. Mexicans have been impacted so much. Kinda sucks, but it ain't holding us back thats for sure.
