Mexican-American War

The Mexican-American War (1846 – 1848) was a conflict between the United States and Mexico arising from territorial disputes, the presence or absence of slavery in and around Texas, and manifest destiny ideologies. It culminated in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ceded vast territories to the United States.

Aftermath

Following the skirmishes around Mexico City that marked the war's end, United States Army officers founded the Aztec Club of 1847. During the city's American occupation, a soldier discovered a "Dagger of Eden", one of the Trident of Eden's then-separated prongs left remained behind after the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés had conquered Tenochtitlan in 1521.

Legacy

The after-events of the Mexican-American War and knowledge pertaining to the Dagger were mentioned in 2016 in conversation by former-Abstergo employee Sebastian Monroe to the teenagers Sean Molloy, Owen Meyers, Javier Mondragón, Natalya Aliyev, and the siblings Grace and David Collins.
