The Olmec, Mayan, Incan, and Aztec civilizations are some of the greatest ancient civilizations in history, and yet we know very little about them compared to other parts of the world. The Olmecs are frequently forgotten entirely, and the rest are often lumped together or confused, but they were all completely distinct. In short, the Maya came first, and settled in modern-day Mexico. Next came the Olmecs, who also settled Mexico. They didn’t build any major cities, but they were widespread and prosperous. They were followed by the Inca in modern-day Peru, and finally the Aztecs, also in modern-day Mexico.
Hopefully this answers your question if it doesn’t and I just overlooked it lmk.

Zachary Taylor to occupy the disputed zone between Río Nueces and Río Grande (Río Bravo for Mexicans) in January 1846. Taylor´s men were attacked by Mexican troops in April killing or injuring 16 of them. Polk claimed Mexican soldiers had attacked US troops and "shed American blood upon American soil." He requested a declaration of war. Congress overwhelmingly voted to declare war on Mexico on May 13, 1846.
