General Winfield Scott faced bitter resistance from the Mexican Army in the battle of Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City.

The battle of Chapultepec was held on September 12 and 13, 1947. The Castle was an iconic and important position for the Mexican Army because it is located at the top of a hill and had been the official residence of Maximilian, the Dutch emperor in the past.
