The Mexican Army's defeats at Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma caused political turmoil in Mexico, turmoil which Antonio López de Santa Anna used to revive his political career and return from self-imposed exile in Cuba in mid-August 1846.
Porazi kod Palo Alta i Resace de la Palma prouzrokovali su političke nemire u Meksiku; nemire koje je Antonio López de Santa Anna iskoristio za oživljavanje vlastite političke karijere i povratak iz progona s Kube sredinom kolovoza 1846. godine.
