Not Ranked
Actually Mexico only controlled California in name only, after Spain bowed of North America in 1822. After 1831 California was controlled by the people that lived here the Californios, there was no Mexican Military, just the Californios that were paid in land to police the place. By the time of the Bear Republic the population was USA 250K, Californios 15K. Mexico has no right to California at all.
It is the intellectual socialists that are trying to rewrite California History as well as the US Constitution.
