The [[Mexican-American War]] played a critical role in defining the border between the two nations that remains in place today.  

In 1847, the Marines strategically chose to capture Mexico's "Palacio Nacional," knowing that a takeover would greatly disarm the Mexican army. Now known as the Battle of Chapultepec, the Marines stormed the enemy fortress during a 48 hour battle. After two days of continued fighting, the Marines gained control of the castle - better known as the "Halls of Montezuma." Victory at the Halls of Montezuma remains a part of Marine Corps tradition, immortalized in the Marines Hymn.
