5. The United States wanted to acquire the Mexican Cession to B. complete the transcontinental railroad across the Southern United States.
However, it is important to note that this is also part of the Manifest Destiny. However, in this case, the more accurate answer is B, as the Gadsden purchase was used to create a easier route for the railroads to get laid (as the area surrounding were mountainous).

6. I believe it is A. Factors of the Creation of the Monroe Doctrine., especially in the long run.
The Monroe Doctrine was created during the presidency of James Monroe, who was office from 1817 - 1825. You must remember that the Louisiana Territory was under French rule, Florida, and south-western parts of the United States was under Spanish rule, and other European countries claiming smaller territories within the current US. However, with the purchase of the Louisiana Purchase as well as the Gadsden Purchase and the Acquisition from both the Texas Independence (in which Texas joins the Union), and the Mexican-American War, the US gained large amounts of territory at once, as well as large amounts of population. The Monroe Doctrine was an ultimatum to European countries, in which the US was the regional power, and that it would use it's resources to "protect" it's neighbors and it's own interests. In this case, the European countries were not to interfere with territories in the US, creating the U.S. sphere of influence. However, existing colonial powers were not removed by the U.S.

<em>President Theodore Roosevelt strengthened the Monroe Doctrine by establishing the policy that the United States would intervene in Latin America to prevent European interference.</em>
"Roosevelt Corollary" was the Roosevelt way to act in Latin American in the case of any European intromission in the region. In the case of any wrongdoings by a Latin American nation such as riots, rebellions, or large debts, The United States could intervene to solve the issue. This meant that it would be the US that played the new role of "police patrolling" Latin American countries to avoid European intervention, as was the case of the Dominican Republic in 1905.
