This was just to legitimize their conquered land. They literally made this deal while having Mexico City occupied.

My nation is not old enough to have any of those so I'll just claim all the achievements of the Commonwealth, Allies(WW2) and anything good the West and 'Communists' have ever done.
As a Texan, I can say that that's not exactly what happened. You see, Texas had a population of about 3,000 in the early 1800s. So Mexico, newly independent from Spain, invited a bunch of American settlers to come to Texas for some cheap land. Americans bring slaves, Mexico no like slaves (being ruled by white Spainards that had racial codes for public office tends to do that). Americans want slaves, come and take it. The end

The Independence War, naturally. It was so just that it's obscured every other war we've fought - mostly because those wars were unjust and embarrassing or our role in them was pretty contemptible. If this were a 'your country's most kvlt wars' I'd have said the Thirty Years because we spend the whole conflict raping everyone and digesting the German countryside, and not for the soldiers' benefit of course.
So was Qutlumush, until he wasn't. You Greeks need to stop listening to idiots, Turks and socialists every time they bleat about imperialism, as though taking someone's money makes you their slave. They're your enemies, dummy, they'll say anything to look like the poor innocent victims or concerned citizens or whatever. Imperialist powers fork over billions' worth of aid in the vague hopes that their 'proxies' will achieve at least part of an objective while pursuing their own interests, why the hell should Greece have refused? Out of 'solidarity with the oppressed?'

British Invasions of the River Plate en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_invasions_of_the_River_Plate >British invade Buenos Aires twice. Get repelled by local residents in improvised militias. These invasions are remembered positively today because they triggered the independence movement just three years later, as Argentines realized the Spanish crown had basically abandoned them to their fate yet they could still fend for themselves with no reinforcements.
War of Argentine Independence en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_War_of_Independence >Fought because colonists were not allowed self-rule and Buenos Aires waw cucked by the Spanish monopoly and wanted free trade. Proceeded to liberate not just the local Viceroyalty (which would become Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay), but also liberated Chile and Peru-Bolivia asking for nothing in return. A United Provinces fleet under Hipolito Bouchard circumnavigated the globe and also sparked rightful rebellions against Spanish rule in Central America, California and the Philippines.
Cisplatine War en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisplatine_War >Again the United Provinces (Argentina) was the good guy, repelling an unprovoked Brazilian invasion into the then Spanish-speaking province of Uruguay. Uruguayan people fought on the side of the United Provinces, in the end were granted independence as a compromise between both Argentina and Brazil. (War ended in a stalemate)

Anglo-French Blockade of the Rio de la Plata en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-French_blockade_of_the_Río_de_la_Plata >A rare case of British and Frogs teaming up in the mid 19th century to force Argentina to allow free navigation of its internal rivers to any foreign power, were repelled by based Rosas in the Battle of Vuelta de Obligado. Argentine sovereignity over its internal rivers and territorial integrity was acknowledged.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraguayan_War >Isolationist and militarist Paraguay, run by dictator Solano Lopez, tries to interfere in Uruguayan affairs, triggering a war with Uruguay and Brazil. In the middle of this, he asks Argentina to allow its troops to cross its territory to invade Uruguay. Argentina, being neutral, rightly refuses. Paraguay proceeds to declare war on Argentina too, invades Corrientes province, gets its shit pushed in by the three rivals.
tfw every war we fought was fair except for the Falklands. Most people always remember that one and don't know about the others.
Just squashed by them and driven like cattle by them, while never quite being unanimous enough to get into a position where you can shake off the yoke. Any other people and it would be considered a national liberation war, but Greeks have these masochistic first world pretenses and a startling knack for contrarianism.

Nolan Rogers
USA troops literally went into Mexican side of the border, killed some Mexican soldiers and then pretended it was Mexican aggression on US soil. A fucking false flag to justify war.
Michael Long
Pretty sure Mexico ambushed them is the traditional narrative. Still had no business building forts on disputed land and acting like it's a huge surprise when the people you have the dispute with come and try to push you off of it.
That right there is basically the whole of the Indian wars and it's not like they act like they were being heroic and righteously upright noble men of honor regarding that whole thing. Well some do but they're the kind that would defend literally every historical event no matter how black a stain it left.

It is inefficient, it promotes cruelty and degeneracy and society benefits the most when individuals are able to freely pursue their 'dreams' instead of being forced to do menial work (i.e. laissez faire).
Elijah Diaz
Sorry, but no war fought to put a king on a throne is just. Especially true when the U.S.A. does this. The Arabian Peninsula would be a better, more peaceful place today if Kuwait was part of Iraq.
Brody Hernandez
Also, slavery discourages literacy. Traditionally, all slavery based societies made it illegal for slaves to be taught to read, and usually numerate as well. Some exceptions of course.

It's not an invasion if you beg us to immigrate. Also all of those are dramatic exaggerations to play the victim because your country and people are failures of their own accord.

Don't attribute to malice what can easily be explained by ignorance. Then again you're /pol/ so you think everyone that isn't white is out to hijack your narrative.
IIRC correctly the first time was the pastry war and the US had little involvement. Though that poster would still be wrong because also IIRC that conflict was not a full blown invasion.
Caleb Thomas
No they're not. At least not the ones that are armed and would violently resist any attempt at stopping them. You misidentify the current mass migration pattern as a foreign invasion because you're either a psychopath or a bigot. Or both. Either way go back to /pol/ please.
Yes, Mexicans are invading the USA, retard, and the corrupt Mexican government encourages them to do so. And those supporting this invasion are armed, as you should know. The invaders make up upwards of 1/4 of the US prison population, and for crimes unrelated to their illegal invasion. Fuck off, retard.
