Which turning point would best start an era called "westward expansion"?

History

Hmm, there were several triggering events that promoted westward expansion of the United States.  Victory in war over Mexico (1848) gave the US new lands in the west.  A treaty with Britain (also in 1848) gave the US sole possession of some formerly disputed Oregon territory lands also. Plus, in 1848, gold was discovered in California (land newly in US possession after that Mexican war treaty), so that prodded westward expansion too.  Perhaps those are the initial "turning points" you're looking for. The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 sure helped the process as it was underway, as well.

How did the us win the war at home
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

It all depends on what war you are talking about. America has been in many wars, however; it is debatable about how many were actually on American soil... Many wars were fought in America like the- Revolutionary war, the War of 1812, Civil War, even WWI and WWII were partially fought on our land. All of these wars were won by America because we had more military power and more allies to help us when we needed it, we also had enough factories during those times to provide military weapons to supply our military.
