This could be a little bit of a trick question, so let me break it down. First off, the best answers are probably California, New Mexico, and Texas, but read through my explanation to figure out what your teacher might want:

California and New Mexico are definitely right. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War, granted the U.S. ownership and control of California and a big part of New Mexico, both of which at the time belonged to Mexico.

Texas could be where the trick is. Technically, the U.S. obtained most of Texas from the Republic of Texas and not from Mexico. The Republic of Texas lasted for about ten years, from 1836 to 1845, when it was annexed by the U.S. 

BUT a big chunk of Texas was also obtained from Mexico with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, since the border between the U.S. and Mexico was not firmly established. This is partly why the Mexican-American War was fought. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo set the border at the Rio Grande, which was much farther south than the Mexicans had originally agreed to. So technically this southern chunk of Texas was obtained directly from Mexico.

Oregon and Louisiana are completely wrong.

Drag the characteristic into the correct column in the table to show whether it is associated with the White Army or the Red Arm
Salsk061 [2.6K]

<u>White Army: </u>

1. This army received support from the west.

The White Army was made up of generally anti-communist groups, which was the beliefs of the Western-world, leading to the eventual support. However, with corruption plaguing the white government(s), these support was not put into good use.

3. Some of the people in the army wanted a democracy.

Remember, the groups in the white army are just anti-communist. Their individual ideals of what form of government they want is completely different, as some groups may want to reinstate the royal family, others want a direct democracy or even indirect democracy, and others.

6. This army was made up of a variety of different interests.

This point piggy-backs off the 3rd choice.

<u>Red Army: </u>

2. Leon Trotsky led this army.

Leon Trotsky was a early leader in the Russian Communist Political Party, which led to his major influence in leading any actions that the Party takes.

4. This army crushed all its oppositions.

Without the white armies actually uniting, the Red army was able to unify more structurally and take out each individual white army.

5. This army achieved power and victory in Russia.

As seen in the history of Russia, after the war between the Red & White Armies, Russia became known as the U.S.S.R, under the communist regime.
