War with Mexico was the result of the annexation of the Republic of Texas to the United States in March 1845, which the Mexican government regarded as an act of war since they had refused to recognize Texas' independence. Following the capture of the Citadel of Chapultepec by the American Army, the President of Mexico resigned and the Treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo was signed in early 1848. It was in this war that the beginnings of close cooperation between the Army and Navy became effective in the form of transport, coastal blockade, and the capture of important coastal towns. Under the treaty, the Rio Grande became the boundary between Mexico and the United States, and all or parts of seven states were ceded to the U.S., and Mexico received $15 million for the land.
