| The Mexican–American War came to a close after the United States deployed combat units deep into Mexico resulting in the capture of Mexico City and Veracruz by the U.S. Army's 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Divisions.[34] The invasion culminated with the storming of Chapultepec Castle in the city itself.[35] The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in what is now the far north of the city.[36] Events such as the Reform War left the city relatively untouched and it continued to grow, especially during the rule of President Porfirio Díaz. During this time, the city developed a modern infrastructure, such as roads, schools, transportation, and communication systems. However, the regime concentrated resources and wealth into the city while the rest languished in poverty. regulatory consultants brisbanegeburtstagsgeschenk | |
