About This Puzzle
This Mexican American War word search is the territorial-expansion conflict page in the U.S. history war cluster. It focuses on annexation, campaigns, treaty terms, and southwestern geography, which gives it a different intent than both the general War page and later 20th-century conflicts.
That makes it useful for lessons about U.S. expansion, Manifest Destiny, and the treaty outcomes that reshaped the map.

The Mexican American War is one of the clearest examples of war-related vocabulary tied directly to territorial growth and treaty negotiation.

- This hard puzzle includes diagonal-up directions.
