The dispute surrounding assigning the border at the Río Grande or at Nueces River, coupled with the U.S. annexation of Texas in 1845, set the Mexican-American War into motion. This slice of land between the Río Grande and the Nueces River is called the Trans-Nueces, which you can see in the middle of the two yellow lines in the center of the map on the left. Lasting from 1846-1848, the Mexican-American War ended in the Mexico-U.S. border being set at the Rio Grande and the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. As part of the Treaty, Mexico lost a devastating 55% of its land to the U.S., giving both countries the border we recognize today. Well, for the most part.

Answer:
Yorktown
<h2>
What made the Battle of Yorktown significant?</h2>
There were three British armies in the US at the time. One was in New York, an island that the British Navy had protected from invasion. The French declaration of war had greatly aided the Continental Army's pursuit of them there in 1778, which prevented them from landing nearby.
Georgia and South Carolina each had the southern garrison force. The southern Continental Army had recently engaged in two engagements and a siege. All of them were won by the British, but only after they had stripped the garrisons of their weapons and supplies while the local militias had destroyed the garrisons (as planned). The "victorious" British discovered that they only held<em> Charleston </em>and <em>Savannah</em>, both of which were under siege.
The last mobile army the British possessed was in action, essentially frightening the countryside and inflaming the already hostile local populace. Cooperation between the US and France had always ended in failure, but at<em> Yorktown,</em> the French more than made up for it by contributing two fleets and the majority of the troops.
The British had no mobile forces after <em>Yorktown</em>, and in fact, the garrisons in <em>Savannah</em> and <em>Charleston</em> were evacuated by ship to support New York. George Hanover wanted to continue the struggle and enlist more soldiers, but nobody else in government was that dim. It was obvious that the<em> best </em>course of action was to work out a separate peace with the US before defeating the <em>French, Spanish, and Dutch</em>. that they did.
