On May 13, 1846, the United States declared war on Mexico. The Mexicans

The Mexican soldiers thought the U.S. troops were being led by George Washington, who had been dead for 50 years. Santa Anna had to retreat because they were low on ammo and food and he believed his troops would begin deserting. Both sides claimed victory.
