People believe its what sparked WWI. The story is actually very funny. Six assassins tried, one chichekend out, the other threw a granade, which bounced off the car and so he took an expired cynide pill and jumped intot he river. it was 6 inches deep, so he went to jail, and one was hungry, so he was ordering a sandwich, and Franz took a wrong turn, and so the assassin killed him. the rest of the assassins just gave up and went home. And thats the start of WWI
President Polk wrote this address to Congress on May 11, 1846 to the Senate and the House of Representatives:
The existing state of the relations between the United States and Mexico renders it proper that I should bring the subject to the consideration of Congress. In my message at the commencement of your present session, the state of these relations, the causes which led to the suspension of diplomatic intercourse between the two countries in March, 1845, and the long-continued and unredressed wrongs and injuries committed by the Mexican Government on citizens of the United States in their persons and property were briefly set forth.
As the facts and opinions which were then laid before you were carefully considered, I can not better express my present convictions of the condition of affairs up to that time than by referring you to that communication.
The goal was to gain wealth for themselves and their country and to convert natives to Christianity
