Well, they tried to outnumber the Texans in 1836, but failed and lost
their Tejas territory to the Texans, not the USA. They tried to outnumber
the Americans in 1846, but failed and lost California, Arizona and New
Mexico territories as compensation for war crimes and invasion of US
territory.

The really funny part of all this is, the Mexican peons were outnumbered
by the French by a 3:1 margin, but the Mexican peons kicked their ass' all
the way back to France and the Mexican peons took over French-Mexico.

The best part is that they still celebrate the 5th of May as a victorious
day of freedom to this day. They call it; Cinco de Mayo...we celebrate it
too, because after their defeat the French were the last of the
dictatorial Euros to occupy North America...

That depends on your view of history. The British burned the President's
residence and many other places during the war of 1812. They certainly
didn't go un-rebuilt. Had there been bombers flying about in those days,
there certainly would have been more damage done.

8^) We don't need money to rebuild because of war. We needed to pay off
the damage the SOB living in public housing (WH) in Washington DC has dug
a hole where our money is wasted. Public debt has risen several trillion
dollars since his inaugeration to that office in 2009. What was a $10T
debt is now a $17t debt.

Mine left Germany (Prussia) in 1840...and met the other half that had been
here fighting the revolutionary war to rid this country of stupid Brits...

Sure it is...8^) Meanwhile don't look over your shoulder towards the south
or east.

Just keep telling yourself that. Germany has, once again, attained the
economic and military level it needs to take over Europe. And you can bet
your ass that the rest of Europe will fall again.
