History of the CHAPULTEPEC 1847 Battle Streamer
In September 1847, American forces launched a decisive assault on Molino del Rey, a crucial outpost of Chapultepec during the Mexican-American War. After a fierce battle, the Americans emerged victorious, inflicting heavy casualties on the Mexican forces. Despite sustaining significant losses themselves, they persevered in their advance, ultimately capturing Chapultepec on an unspecified date that month. The siege resulted in further casualties on both sides, with Mexican resistance dwindling. Following the fall of the fortress, negotiations led to the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo on February 2, 1848, bringing an end to the war and marking a pivotal moment in American military history.
