The
Battle of Churubusco
took place on August 20, 1847, in
Churubusco
(now a suburb of
Mexico City
) during the
Mexican–American War
. Three Mexican battalions—including the
Saint Patrick's Battalion
made up of immigrants—took up defensive positions inside a
convent
and were able to repulse the American attacks until they ran out of ammunition.
