Answer:The Mexican–American War,[a] also known in the United States as the Mexican War and in Mexico as the Intervención Estadounidense en México (United States intervention in Mexico),[b] was an armed conflict between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848. It followed in the wake of the 1845 U.S. annexation of Texas, which was not formally recognized by the Mexican government, who disputed the Treaties of Velasco signed by Mexican caudillo President/General Antonio López de Santa Anna after the Texas Revolution a decade earlier. In 1845, newly elected U.S. President James K. Polk, who saw the annexation of Texas as the first step towards a further expansion of the United States,[5] sent troops to the disputed area and a diplomatic mission to Mexico. After Mexican forces attacked U.S. forces, the United States Congress declared war.
U.S. forces quickly occupied the regional capital of Santa Fe de Nuevo México along the upper Rio Grande and the Pacific coast province of Alta California, and then moved south. Meanwhile, the Pacific Squadron of the U.S. Navy blockaded the Pacific coast farther south in lower Baja California Territory. The U.S. Army under Major General Winfield Scott eventually captured Mexico City through stiff resistance, having marched west from the port of Veracruz on the Gulf Coast, where the U.S. staged its first ever major amphibious landing.
The 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, forced onto the remnant Mexican government, ended the war and enforced the Mexican Cession of the northern territories of Alta California and Santa Fe de Nuevo México to the United States. The U.S. agreed to pay $15 million compensation for the physical damage of the war and assumed $3.25 million of debt already owed earlier by the Mexican government to U.S. citizens. Mexico acknowledged the loss of what became the State of Texas and accepted the Rio Grande as its northern border with the United States.
The victory and territorial expansion Polk envisioned[6] inspired great patriotism in the United States, but the war and treaty drew some criticism in the U.S. for their casualties, monetary cost, and heavy-handedness,[7][8] particularly early on. The question of how to treat the new acquisitions also intensified the debate over slavery. Mexico's worsened domestic turmoil and losses of life, territory and national prestige left it in what prominent Mexicans called a "state of degradation and ruin".[9]
Answer:
Sherman Antitrust Act
Explanation:
Sherman Antitrust Act was given the approval on June 2, 1890. It was passed to maintain a lawful scenario in the businesses. The members of Congress anticipated in the formulation of the law in order to provide a regulation to the interstate commerce. It was a law that stressed upon preventing the emergence of monopolistic economy. The monopolistic trade was turned to be illegal. Any trust that would interfere with the working of the free trade was made illegal.
Not willingly. Both superpowers had vested interests in the outcome of the war. Each country (Britain, France, Israel, The soviet Union and the United States) had different motives for doing what they did.
Britain and France had 2 motives: Oil and the Canal itself. Shipping was a huge consideration in the war.
The United States: mostly it was a matter of not letting the Arab nations get too upset. Oil again.
The Soviet Union: Oil and they were backing Egypt. The oil consideration was not for themselves. They (have/had) plenty of oil. They didn't want the balance of power shifting to the United States.
Israel: self preservation. That is always their motive.
