As a result of the annexation of Texas and the Mexican-American war the United States gained a large swath of land, what is now the southwest. The Mexican army was soundly defeated by the American forces and their victory was greatly celebrated. However, almost immediately after the war heated debate began on whether or not to extend slavery into these newly acquired territories. These territories had the potential to upset the careful balance between slave states and free states. The country was fractured along both partisan and sectional lines. The resulting compromise of 1850 only managed to delay the crises for another decade. The American acquisition of the southwest not only re-ignited the debate on slavery; it made conflict over it almost inevitable.

Was the Vietnam war winnable for America? A paragraph please

frozen [14]

Answer:

Short answer: Yes.

Explanation:

The Vietnam War saw to the US's superior industrial, population, and military superiority, as well as the extensive usage of tactics and military industrial advantages. In fact, the Vietcong, even with the then USSR and Communist China's backing, was slowly losing grip and was losing at that point. However, the anti-war viewpoint became increasingly popular, as the reason for the US to join was inadequate at best, and the views of fighting another countries battle and seeing their own young men come home wrapped in the American flag' was unbearable to the US general public, therefore support was withdrawn. If the US continued to push after the Tet Offensive, then the US would have been able to claim the Vietnam War as a victory, rather than a strategic withdrawal, which led to the eventual demise of South Vietnam.
