Mexican Independence

The american inmigrants claimed themselves as Texans, proud for their new land, they began to create anthems and marches.

Beginning of a new nation
Shortly after independence, the capital was moved to Houston, since many people lived there, the flag was changed for the Lone Star flag, however indian-texans starting revolting on cities, commiting crimes and getting arrested, the situation calmed down for a bit after some time.

On March 5, 1842, Mexico launched an invasion armed by 500 men, invading the Republic of the Rio Grande and Texas, however rebellions escalated more on Mexico leading at the point that Mexico was on a civil war, Texas took advantage of this and annexed the Mexican part of the disputed territory.

Once the civil war ended, Texas signed the Treaty of Dallas which forced Mexico to give independence and recognize the Republic of the Rio Grande, leading to an economical crisis on Mexico.

Houston, Dallas and other cities was urbanized during 1844, leading to Houston's population living on towns and leaving farms, the population chooses to live on towns or be agrocultural to prevent a civil war.

As of 1847, France, Belgium, Netherlands and the United Kingdom have opened embassys and trades with Texas, without worsening ties with Mexico since it fully recognizes Texas since 1846.

Rise of the Star
Texas banned slavery on 1849, which made Texas to open relations with more countries, at this point Texas is recognized by most of the world.
