Tshombe asserts that the United States "land grabbed" Texas from Mexico, a serious misreading of history. The Republic of Texas gained independence in 1836 without direct help from the United States, with Mexican military dictator Santa Anna signing peace treaties recognizing the new nation after his army was defeated by the Texians under Sam Houston. The Republic had an independent government that was diplomatically recognized by major European countries, and it later joined the United States voluntarily, being formally annexed in late 1845.Despite Mexican assertions that the 1836 treaties--and thus the Republic of Texas' territorial claims--were illegitimate, the subsequent 1846 Mexican-American War is generally considered to have started as a Mexican attempt to recapture territory lost 10 years prior, and not as a "land grab" by the United States.
