Answer:
Conflict with Mexico began when the United States annexed Texas as a state in 1845.
Mexico claimed that the new border between Texas and Mexico was the Nueces River, while the United States contested the border was the Rio Grande.
Fighting began when a detachment of U.S. cavalry was attacked near the Rio Grande.
Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott led armies to a series of military successes that culminated in the capture of Mexico City in 1847.
The 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, forced onto the remnant Mexican government, ended the war and enforced the Mexican Cession of the northern territories of Alta California and Santa Fe de Nuevo México to the United States. The U.S. agreed to pay $15 million compensation for the physical damage of the war and assumed $3.25 million of debt already owed earlier by the Mexican government to U.S. citizens. Mexico acknowledged the loss of what became the State of Texas and accepted the Rio Grande as its northern border with the United States.

Answer:
The 16th and 17th centuries known as the "incubation period of the modern world" because of the breakthroughs that occurred in the use of water and wind energy for the completion and powering of various industries.
There was also the issue of military revolution which occurred around that time and was the period in which gun powder production started . This led to subsequent production of other weapons during this period.
The biggest effect of the French and Indian War was that it taught the 13 American colonies how to fight together. Before this war there was a mutual distrust between the thirteen. The next common foe would be Great Britain in the American Revolution.
This war also left Great Britain in extreme financial trouble within their military which of course will be a huge advantage for the colonists in the Revolution.
Great Britain tried to tax the colonists to make some money to be able to afford their military but this backfired when the colonists asked for representation in parliament-were denied- and started tossing tea off ships in Boston.
Therefore, we can really thank the French and Indian War for paving the way to our freedom.
