In a distinct improvement over their record during the War of 1812 (1812-1814), the armed forces of the United States performed well during the war. Contending with rugged terrain and logistical problems, the U.S. force of 14,000 prevailed over the Mexican military force. They occupied Mexico City in September, 1847.
