Second Mexican-American War

The Second Mexican-American War lasted from 2 December 2078 until 2 February 2079 was a part of the Post World War III turmoil that rocked the globe. After the third World War the US was lost much of its infrastructure. Even thou they won the war the US was on the brink of losing status as a superpower. The only real asset left for the Americans was its over large and experienced military. Soon It became clear that the only option available was to invade a neutral country and annex their industry. President Kent and Congress decided on Mexico because of Anti-Mexican sentiment sparked by 1st Mexican Socialist Volunteers Division, or 1ra División de Voluntarios Socialistas Mexicanos, which fought for the Chinese during the war. This along with, now known to be doctored, photos showing Mexican made arms in the hands of Chinese and Soviet soldiers kept American supporting war.

On 2 December 2078 War Plan Agave is launched and by New Years Eve Mexico City Was Captured. The better equipped veteran US forces outnumbered and made easy work of the green Mexican military. By January the totality of strategic territory was under US occupation and by February Mexico was suing for peace.

The UN:
At the outbreak of the war the UN demanded sanctions be placed on the US by all member nations, none listened. In response the US refused to allow the UN to renew its lease on their New York Headquarters. in 2079 the UN moved to Geneva, Switzerland. At the conclusion of the war the UN demanded that they be present during the drafting and signing of the treaty, US President Kent agreed and gave UN diplomats and peacekeepers the the wrong address to the hotel in which the signing took place.

Mexico After Annexation:
After Annexation Mexico became a territory of the US and not an official state. There was no free travel between Mexico and the US. Americans took over the industry and used Mexico as a destination for refugees fleeing the aftermath of WW3.

Canadian Reaction:
After the war Canada wrote a constitution granting more power to the armed forces and smooth lining the parliamentary structure so that it could better function in a time of emergency. Historians call this nation state New Canada although this was not how it was refereed to historically.
