Why did Americans from the south and west WANT to go to war with Mexico?

History

The reason Americans from the south and west wanted to go to war with Mexico is because they wanted to expand their territory of the United States. This war was basically a battle for land, or territory. Mexico was fighting to keep their land, while the U.S fought to retain the land from them which is not Texas and more of Mexico's northern lands. The U.S. Congress approved the declaration of war on May 13, 1846 with the majority voted for the war to be taken place. They claimed that Mexico crossed the boundaries of the United States and is invading their territory. Another reason why the Americans wanted to go to war with Mexico is to get more land for slavery. They wanted to get more land so they could get more slaves and show their political power upon them. Because Mexico was in a difficult time, it was hard for them to win the war to keep their land, so they gave up and allowed the U.S to take their land

alexdok [17]

Answer:Fascism is a political ideology that includes both Nationalism and militarism, but Nationalism and militarism are phenomena that can exist hand-in-hand or independently of one another. It is possible to be one and not the other. A Nationalist country will generally stress military strength, but this doesn’t necessarily constitute militarism.

Will Mark Brainliest. Describe what leveling was and how was it used during the Han Dynasty.
konstantin123 [22]

Explanation:

The Han dynasty was governed by a centralized monarchy headed by an emperor and supported by an elaborate structure of imperial administration. The Han government was divided into three branches: the civil service (public administration), the military (defense), and the censorate (auditor).

Life in the city was difficult for the poor who lived in crowded houses and often went without food. Life in countryside was better for the peasants. They had to work hard, but they generally had food and shelter. Taxes were reduced during the Han Dynasty and people who tilled the soil were often respected.
