READ IT! WRITE IT!
Learn more about the Battle of Puebla, which took place in Mexico on May 5, 1862, by reading this article and answering the questions.
Fourteen years before the Battle of Puebla, California was still part of Mexico. At the end of the Mexican-American War in 1848 Mexico was forced to sell the land that would become California and other western states. That same year gold was discovered by Americans living in California. How might events have been different if the Gold Rush in 1849 had happened before the Mexican-American war instead of afterward? Share your ideas with someone at home.
