|
:
|
Traditional characterizations of the 1846-1848 war between the United States and Mexico emphasize the conventional battles waged between two sovereign nations. However, two little-known guerrilla wars taking place at the same time proved critical to the outcome of the conflict.

In the first struggle, a force organized by the Mexican army launched a prolonged campaig.
