Mexican border

"Republic of Texas claimed the Rio Grande as its southern border; Mexico claimed the Nueces River." "Mexico rejected the treaties and refused to negotiate; it claimed all of Texas." Is there any source for Mexican claims to just the Nueces river? 104.219.46.242 (talk) 20:02, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to Mexico, the Nueces River was the internal border between the Mexican province of Texas and other Mexican provinces. AnonMoos (talk) 20:20, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to Mexico the border was defined by the Adams-Onis treaty with the US. Per the article, "Mexico rejected the treaties and refused to negotiate; it claimed all of Texas." State boundaries (Mexican) aren't really relevant here. I'm inclined to see a contradiction here unless someone cites a source. 104.219.46.242 (talk) 22:26, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're kind of missing the point; I don't know how to phrase it any more clearly than I did above. According to treaties, the boundary between Canada and the United States, is the 49th parallel of latitude, but the 46th parallel is the boundary between North Dakota and South Dakota inside the United States. The Nueces River for Mexico was similar to the 46th parallel for the United States. It claimed land up to the Nueces River as part of provinces other than Texas...

Are you saying the state of Cohuila claims part of the state of Texas? I thought the discussion was about national borders. 104.219.46.242 (talk) 23:24, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Before the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was ratified, Mexico claimed the land north of the Nueces as part of Mexican Texas and the land south of the Nueces as part of other Mexican states. AnonMoos (talk) 01:36, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Mexican border

Mmm, the contradiction still exists. It is not true that "Mexico claimed the Nueces River". Rather, "it claimed all of Texas". 104.219.46.242 (talk) 20:56, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
