If the war was a bonanza for the United States of America, it was a disaster for Mexico. If Texas is included, Mexico lost more than half of its national territory to the USA between 1836 and 1848.
::Why did Mexico lose the Mexican-American War (1846-1848)?:: Mexicoâs Centralist Republic was close of a civil war in 1846 between conservatives & liberals: federalist revolts had already happened in Zacatecas (1835), Tabasco (1841 y 1846) and Tamaulipas, also in 1846. Internal cohesion was further eroded by the costs incurred during the Pastry War (1838 - 1839) and the Texan Independence War.
