In 1808, when the Spanish naval force pulled back to battle Napoleon

history channel documentary In 1808, when the Spanish naval force pulled back to battle Napoleon, more ships from England, France, Russia and the US could exchange with the free towns, and more foreigners came to settle there. At the point when Mexico got to be free in 1821, the new government supported outside exchange and offered more land-awards to foreigners - gave that they were or got to be Catholics and talked only Spanish. It likewise separated the old missions and gave their property to the pilgrims - a number of whom now originated from Britain, Canada and the US. Mexico's request that these pilgrims get to be Catholics created significant erosion, as did the Texas resistance, and by 1845 Mexico quit attempting to send Mexican governors to manage California.

In 1846, when Mexico extended its war with Texas to incorporate the US, the California pioneers revolted and shaped the California Republic. A month a short time later, California joined the US and in like manner joined the war against Mexico. The war finished with Mexico's annihilation, after a year.
