History

In the spring of 1918, just as the man-made horrors of World War I were finally starting to wind down, Mother Nature unleashed the deadliest strain of influenza in modern history. The virus infected as much as 40 percent of the global population over the next 18 months. Of these, an estimated 20 to 50 million perished—more than the roughly 17 million people killed during the First World War. The pandemic’s grasp stretched from the United States and Europe to the remote reaches of Greenland and the Pacific islands. Its victims included the likes of President Woodrow Wilson, who contracted it while negotiating the Treaty of Versailles in early 1919.

As the pandemic reached epic proportions in the fall of 1918, it became commonly known as the “Spanish Flu” or the “Spanish Lady” in the United States and Europe. Many assumed this was because the sickness had originated on the Iberian Peninsula, but the nickname was actually the result of a widespread misunderstanding.

Imperialism is a nations desire to claim territory through economic control through both diplomatic and violent tactics. Although militarism has a very similar definition, it only relies on military control and not any diplomatic influence.

Answer:

San Francisco Bay and California ports

Explanation:

The conflict between the United States and Mexico began after the Westward Expansion when American settlers began to settle in Texas, which was part of Mexico. The tension started to arise and brought into conflict when Mexican President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna is forced to signs a treaty in 1836 by the American government.  

United president James K. Polk ordered American naval commander John D. Sloat to seize San Francisco Bay and California's coastal towns in case of war with Mexico. The war did begin and came to be known as the Mexican-American War.
