The right answer is James K Polk (President of America), whose message to the congress stated that Mexico had passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory and shed American blood on American soil.
James K Polk was elected the U.S President on a platform of expansionism who supervised the highest territorial extension of the United States. In 1846, he directed the commander of the army in Texas to lead his troops in the disputed lands between the two rivers Rio Grande and Nueces. A few months later, He sent a mission under the leadership of John Slidell ( a congressman) to Mexico to buy the disputed territory along the Texas- Mexican frontier. Following the failure of the mission Polk in 1846, He <u>managed to use the news of the encounter inside the disputed area between the forces of Taylor and Mexican's, to achieve the support of Congress for its declaration of war against Mexico.</u>

Explanation:
Although Buddhism spread throughout Asia it remained virtually unknown in the West until modern times. The early missions sent by the emperor Ashoka to the West did not bear fruit.
Knowledge of Buddhism has come through three main channels: Western scholars; the work of philosophers, writers and artists; and the arrival of Asian immigrants who have brought various forms of Buddhism with them to Europe, North America and Australia.
The 'come and see for yourself' attitude of Buddhism attracts many Westerners. They are not asked to believe in anything, but to follow the Buddha's advice of testing ideas first.
With the growth of easy travel and communications, the West has been able to find out more about Buddhism in this century than in all the time before. The informality and emphasis on practice of Buddhism appeals to many Westerners.
