The Battle of Chapultepec was a pivotal engagement during the Mexican-American War, fought on September 12-13, 1847.

American forces, led by General Winfield Scott, faced determined resistance from Mexican defenders, including cadets from the Military Academy. Despite fierce opposition, American troops managed to breach the fortress's defenses and capture Chapultepec.
