Map of Mexico prior to Texas independence, 1835.
The tensions in Texas reached a tipping point when General Antonio López de Santa Anna took office as president of Mexico in 1834. Soon after coming to power, he revoked the constitution, set about centralizing governmental authority in Mexico City, and reduced the autonomy of the individual states.
This caused a great deal of unrest in some of the territories. In September of 1835, Texans began a war of secession. In November, a group met in San Felipe de Austin and established a provisional state government .
After months of fighting with Santa Anna’s army, on March 2 of 1836, Texas declared its independence from Mexico . For several weeks, Mexican army forces fought the insurgents, including at the famous battle of the Alamo, where Santa Anna’s troops defeated a group of Texas fighters holed up in the old mission. Despite this iconic loss, Sam Houston’s Texas army ultimately emerged victorious.
On April 21, Gen. Santa Anna, now captured, signed the Treaty of Velasco, recognizing Texas’ independence. Santa Anna’s capitulation was not the final word, though. The Mexican Congress refused to ratify the treaty, since the general was a prisoner of war when he signed it. The United States, however, recognized Texas as an independent republic on March 3, 1837.
Although Mexico would not recognize an independent Texas, struggles within the country and lack of money prevented it from doing anything to retake it. In the meantime, the U.S. aspired to control the north American continent, and to keep out rivals like France and Great Britain.
