Most of the territory of this country was occupied by neighboring countries, but now it complains: why not all of it?

For people's fate, seven points are doomed to heaven, and three points depend on hard work, but for the fate of the country, so it is. If you live near a powerful country, you will be miserable and will be invaded and annexed continuously. For example, if you were around Russia in ancient times, you would basically be destroyed. The following country is even worse. After 2 years of independence, most of its territory was occupied by neighboring countries, but now it is still complaining. Why didn't it all be occupied or swallowed up?

this unlucky country is Mexico. Originally, when Mexico was founded, it was a big country with a territory of more than 4 million square kilometers, but unfortunately, it lived around the powerful United States. Originally, the United States and Mexico were not neighbors. When Mexico became independent in 1821, the United States expanded its territory several times through continuous expansion, directly extending from 13 colonies on the east coast to Louisiana, and now it is neighbors with Mexico.

At this time, the United States took a fancy to the vast territory of Mexico. At first, the United States sent tens of thousands of immigrants directly into the Texas area in southeastern Mexico at that time. The arrival of these immigrants made Mexico very uneasy and began to suppress it. As soon as this was suppressed, these immigrants, with the support of the United States, created chaos in Texas and declared their independence from Mexico and wanted to join the United States. Mexico, which had just become independent, was unable to cope with this and could only watch Texas join the United States.

In 1845, the United States formally accepted Texas, but it also saw the weakness of Mexico. So, I continued to ask Mexico that I needed the California region of Mexico. This time, Mexico said nothing, and the famous American-Mexican war began. The American army marched straight into Mexico, and there was no strength to fight back. By 1847, the American army entered the capital of Mexico and completely defeated Mexico.

In order to survive, Mexico signed an alliance under the city and was forced to cede two large pieces of land, California and New Mexico, which made Texas, New Mexico and California join together, and Mexico lost most of its land directly after its founding. The United States probably thought it was too vicious, so after taking the land, it gave some sugar and gave Mexico 15 million dollars as compensation. Since then, Mexico has lost the possibility of becoming a big country.

More than 1 years later, Mexico is still so decadent, drugs are rampant, tens of thousands of people are killed by shootings in China every year, and the gap between the rich and the poor is serious, and the gap with the United States is getting bigger and bigger. So many Mexicans complained: why didn't the United States annex them all in the first place? That would be nice.

However, the attitude of the United States is, no, not only no, but also a wall has been built on the border, and the cost will be paid by Mexico itself. Now Mexico has mixed feelings when it looks at its original land, California and Texas, which is so developed and rich. On the one hand, it is contradictory to oppose aggression, on the other hand, it yearns for a rich life.
