I don’t know if this will help you But here is what I got about the Mexican American War.
The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) marked the first U.S. armed conflict chiefly fought on foreign soil. It pitted a politically divided and militarily unprepared Mexico against the expansionist-minded administration of U.S. President James K. Polk, who believed the United States had a “manifest destiny” to spread across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. A border skirmish along the Rio Grande started off the fighting and was followed by a series of U.S. victories. When the dust cleared, Mexico had lost about one-third of its territory, including nearly all of present-day California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.
The four South Asian countries that include territory in the Himalayan Mountain Range are:
India; the territory that includes the Himalayas is in the northernmost part of the country.
Pakistan; the territory that includes the Himalayas is in the northeastern part of the country.
Nepal; the country is lying on the Himalayas, and in here it is the highest peak of all, Mount Everest.
Bhutan; this small landlocked country, like Nepal, is totally lying on the Himalayas.
