September 1847 CE

American artillery had bombarded the fortified hill of Chapultepec on September 12; the next day, an infantry assault successfully storms the citadel in the face of a heroic defense by cadets from the Mexican Military College.

The Americans enter Mexico City in the afternoon and Santa Anna evacuates his troops shortly before midnight.
