8 0

Answer:

The answer is:

D. US troops, following orders from President Polk, claimed an area of disputed land for the United States which caused an attack by Mexico in retaliation​

Explanation:

The major cause of the war was actually  the annexation of Texas by the US in 1845. Among tensions, skirmishes and a failed diplomatic mission, president Polk ordered American troops commanded by Gen. Zachary Taylor to occupy the disputed zone between Río Nueces and Río Grande (Río Bravo for Mexicans) in January 1846. Taylor´s men were attacked by Mexican troops in April killing or injuring 16 of them. Polk claimed Mexican soldiers had attacked US troops and "shed American blood upon American soil." He requested a declaration of war. Congress overwhelmingly voted to declare war on Mexico on May 13, 1846.

Which geographic feature most directly
Nata [24]
The geographic feature that most directly influenced the development of Greek city-states was 2. its mountainous terrain. Greece is a series of island separated by sea and marked with numerous mountains. These mountains kept the region from ever becoming completely unified in ancient times because of the difficulty it took to get from point A to point B. Instead, these mountains resulted in the formation of city-states, smaller political units centered around a single city but sharing a culture similar to other city-states in the area. They were connected by culture rather than politics.

Answer:

An increase of property taxes

Explanation:

When property taxes rises, the selling prices of a housing area increases. Unfortunately that also means higher mortgage or rent payments for those that are already living in that housing area.

Property taxes could be raised for many different reasons, for example, you decided to add another building on your property or you bought more land.
