Answer: Battle without a shot fired (1846).
Step-by-step explanation:
The Battle of Santa Fe is a military operation during the American-Mexican War. The U.S. military, numbering just under 2,000 men, marched into the New Mexico area to be secured. Mexican Governor Manuel Armio should have refused American troops' advance. He did not want to establish a defensive line. Still, at the urging of church officials, he did it anyway. The Mexicans were ready to welcome the Americans, but the Army still decided not to act. No violence accompanied the arrival of American troops, so the United States sought territory for itself. The Americans soon established a civilian government, and the Mexicans did not protest until 1847 when an event known in history as the Taos Rebellion broke out.
