The Mexican–American War, also known in America as the Mexican War and in Mexico as the American intervention, was an armed conflict between the United States of America and Mexico from 1846 to 1848.

It could be said that this conflict was motivated in part by the Americans manifest destiny, which claimed that it was the United States' right to expand westward and conquer territories, as well as the wishes of some South Americans to gain more "slave states" in order to increase their political power.

At the end of this war in 1848, with the signing and ratification of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, Mexico had lost about one-third of its territory, including the present California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.

<u>Ethiopia defeat Portugal to stay independent:</u>

The Abyssinian-Adal(Ethiopia & Portugal) War was a military conflict between the "Ethiopian Empire and the Adal Sultanate" that took place from 1529 to 1543. The Abyssinian troops included the Amhara, Tigrayan, and Aegay ethnic groups. The Adal army consisted mostly of Afar, Harari, Somali with Argoba forces.

In the process both politicians exhausted their resources and manpower, resulting in a contraction of both powers and changing "regional dynamics for centuries" to come. In 1529, Imam Ahmad's contingents defeated a large amount of Ethiopian contingent at the "Battle of Shimba Qir". The victory came at a huge cost, but it strengthened the morale of the Somali army, providing evidence that they could stand with the Ethiopian army at large.

500 Muscatiers were led by the Bahri Negassi Yeshak, the king of Medri Bahri. Not only did Yasakh provide the Portuguese with provisions and places to camp within their scope, but also informed them about the land.
