Nice little tidbit of California history.
A lot of people don't know that around that same time Imperial Russia laid claim to the Pacific Northwest from Sitka, Alaska all the way south to San Francisco Bay. This encroachment by the Tsar lead to the Monroe Doctrine which decreed that any more colonization of the Western Hemisphere by Europe would be considered an act of war. Not long after Russia abandoned their fur trading settlements having wiped out all the sea otters.
Had history played out differently perhaps we might have seen Argentina going to war against Russia over California!
Wow, that is really interesting! I had no idea!
@vieira you mean there was a part of Argentina that suffered terrible crime, partied a whole week, and was so drunk they couldn't remember most of it? Sounds like a lot of Argentina from any point in history lol
Thanks for sharing this history. It was entertaining to read especially because I've lived in California my whole life.
Excellent post, I am from Argentina and did't know about this story, it is something that doesn't teach at schools.

Didn't the US also take Texas from the Mexicans?
And Alaska from the Russians.
Naughty naughty :)
The US bought Alaska from the Russian Empire for $7.2 million in 1867. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Purchase Texas is not so clean as you imply.
;)
I wish my kids will be much cuter than that ^^

In these years California called the high california was part of the virreynato of the new spain. After independence he became a republic known today with Mexico.
I have no history relation about Argentina. But I live in Baja California and many of the heroes who defended the North American invasion live in the memory of Mexicans and many streets in my city Tijuana bear their names.
The gringos had invaded the entire peninsula of Baja California but heroes like the former governors of the Alta California defended and recovered territory.
The annexations of Mexican territory to the United States reciden in a single treaty that can be broken there is no more. Also the crowned islands and the coastal islands of California are under North American power but legally belong to Mexico because they were not stipulated in the treaty and the Mexican government already has time requesting the devolution of territories.
California is also where hippies live
Argentina has been a global power for a long time. They are the leading power in Latin America apart from Brazil. In the 20thr century their economy reached top 10
