  • Summary

  • In the 19th century, the relationship between the United States and Mexico was marked by territorial disputes and conflict, culminating in the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). But what if, instead of stopping at the annexation of Texas and the acquisition of northern territories, the United States had invaded and annexed the entirety of Mexico? This episode explores the political, social, and economic ramifications of such a monumental event.
