Original Note:
Besieged 1847. https://www.britannica.com/event/Mexican-American-War Annexation is worse than occupation, the former being illegal in IHL, the latter not. The states of California, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and parts of other states were annexed from Mexico. Texas was Mexico until its independence then the US annexed it. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=itxkAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA360&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false https://study.com/academy/lesson/the-annexation-of-california-from-mexico.html#:~:text=Annexation%20of%20California?-,The%20Annexation%20of%20California:%20Overview,the%20belief%20in%20Manifest%20Destiny.
