Descripción
The Battle of Buena Vista, a pivotal engagement during the Mexican-American War, unfolded on February 22 and 23, 1847, near the town of Buena Vista in northern Mexico. Under the command of General Zachary Taylor, the United States forces faced off against Mexican troops led by General Santa Anna. The battle was characterized by its intense fighting, with both sides experiencing significant casualties. Despite being outnumbered, Taylor's forces, known as the "Army of Occupation," skillfully defended their positions. The terrain, with its gorges and steep slopes, played a crucial role in the tactical maneuvers of the battle. The U.S. forces, including volunteer regiments and artillery units, repelled Mexican attacks and held their ground. The ferocity of the fighting earned the battle its nickname, "The Thermopylae of the West." Ultimately, the American forces emerged victorious, further solidifying Taylor's reputation as a skilled military leader. The Battle of Buena Vista proved instrumental in the overall American success in the war, leading to increased support for Taylor, who would later become the 12th President of the United States.
