Traditionally, the process of independence of Texas has been described as a completely noble struggle to defend and uphold the ideals of democracy, freedom, etc. However, little has been said as of the far more innoble motivations behind many individuals who settled down in Texas with the permission of the Mexican government. As became Mexico in 1821, its democratic government had agreed to allow immigrant from the U.S. to claim large plots of lands where they and their families could make a dignified living as ranchers or farmers, <u>but many of these immigrants had no intention to roll up their shirt sleeves, get their hands dirty and earn their everyday bread with the sweat on their foreheads: they speculated on real state from the very beginning, breaking the law in the process by claiming more lands than allowed</u>.
It is true that the government in Mexico took a bad turn for dictatorship in 1835, which prompted a number of states such as Zacatecas, Yucatan, Texas, etc. to secede from the country. However, a great number of Texans at the time speculated about the potential advantages of joining the U.S. Against the deal that every immigrant accepted into Texas had made with Mexico, as of not joining the U.S., Texans sent a delegation to the U.S. requesting for assistance. Later on, after the battles at El Alamo and San Jacinto in 1836, the Texan revolutionaries, who had captured president of Mexico and chief commander of the Mexican Army, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, the Treaties of Velasco signed by Sam Houston, Texans' leader and Santa Anna, recognized the independence of Mexico, even though the Mexican congress never ratified it.
Answer:
Containment of communism
Explanation:
After WWII Truman's policy towards communism was to contain and prevent its spread, rather than intervene against the USSR and China, which would have been a fools errand especially after the war. After China "fell" to communism and it seemed that Korea would follow, U.S. policymakers feared that all of Asia would be invaded by communist forces and the U.S. would be threatened by an insurmountable military foe, communist countries allied with the Soviet Union taking over Asia and Europe and coming for the USA next.
Korea was occupied by Japan during WWII, and by 1948 the Soviet Union liberated the northern half, then the United States liberated the southern half. The northern half was communist, the southern half was not. In 1949 the Chinese communist revolution created another communist ally bordering North Korea, and with support from China and the USSR, North Korea invaded the South and captured Seoul.
At the time, the U.S. was deeply concerned over the invasion not only because it was hostile and internationally condemned, but because officials feared the "domino effect" of communism spreading from the USSR across Asia and Europe, as well as rising from South America, and the entire world slowly being taken over by USSR-allied communists who wanted to destroy America.
When writing an essay like this, I would devote one paragraph to talking about how supply and demand dictate prices, and another paragraph to how international trade fuels economic growth.
