Major Battles of Mexican-American War:
The Battle of Veracruz was a 20 day siege of the Mexican seaport Veracruz. The US was backed by 12,000 troops, and Mexico had 3,360 troops. 13 Americans were killed and 55 were wounded. 350 Mexican troops were killed and 50 were wounded. The US was lead by Winfield Scott, and Mexico was lead by Jaun Esteban Morales.
The Battle of Monterrey lasted four days. There were 6,220 American troops lead by General Zachary Taylor and over 9,000 Mexicans lead by General Pedro de Ampudia, General Jose Garcia-Conde, General Francisco Mejia helped Mexico. There were 120 Americans killed, and 367 Mexicans killed and wounded.
There were many battles in the Mexican-American War. I think the most important battle was the Battle of Chapultepec, because it was a huge step in ending the war.
