This is part of American and Mexican history. The Americans landed in Vera Cruz, then marched to Mexico City, and conquered it, without too much trouble.
But then they did something unexpected. They returned to their home country, and left Mexico for the Mexicans!
This is not hard to understand, if you put yourself in their shoes. The American army was surrounded by Mexicans, they did not understand, in the least. They realized, occupying Mexico would be a huge job, they did not relish.
They had already taken large parts of Mexican territory, including California, Arizona, and Texas. The Mexicans were driven out, easily enough, and these lands were promptly acquired by American citizens.
