Siege of Veracruz
The Battle of Veracruz was a 20-day siege of the key Mexican beachhead seaport of Veracruz, during the Mexican-American War. Lasting from March 9–29, 1847, it began with the first large-scale amphibious assault conducted by United States military forces, and ended with the surrender and occupation of the city. U.S. forces then marched inland to Mexico City.
==Background==
After the battles of Monterrey and Buena Vista, much of Zachary Taylor's Army of Occupation was transferred to the command of Major General Winfield Scott in support of the upcoming campaign.〔 That campaign, determined by Scott and other Washington officials, would be a Veracruz landing and an advance inland.〔 Bauer, K.J., 1974, ''The Mexican War, 1846–1848'', New York: Macmillan, ISBN 0803261071〕 Mexican military intelligence knew in advance of U.S. plans to attack Veracruz,〔 but internal government turmoil left them powerless to send crucial reinforcements before the American assault commenced.
