History

The origins of the Mexican-American War can largely be traced back to Texas winning its independence from Mexico in 1836. Following his defeat at the Battle of San Jacinto (4/21/1836), Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna was captured and forced to recognize the sovereignty of the Republic of Texas in exchange for his freedom. The Mexican government, however, refused to honor Santa Anna’s agreement, stating that he was not authorized to make such a deal and that it still considered Texas a province in rebellion.

Any thoughts the Mexican government had of recovering the territory quickly were eliminated when the new Republic of Texas received diplomatic recognition from the United States, Great Britain, and France.

Which nations do u think started late in the race for an empire in Africa
Airida [17]
- Germany and Italy. -

Neither became independent,sovereign nations until the second half of the 19th century (1861 and 1871 respectively). Neither had a powerful navy when they became unified,so it took time to build up both a sufficiently large surface fleet and merchant marine to make imperial acquisitions overseas viable and defensible. A combination of these factors meant that,by the time both were ready and eager for imperial colonies in Africa,much of the continent (and certainly all the best bits) had long since been claimed by others.
