The correct answers are: 3. The Mexican-American War and 2. Discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill.

Indeed, American settlers had kept going further west; they settled the Mexican state of Texas and became the majority. They ended up seceding from Texas and were an independent republic for 8 years, after which they entered the Union. This provoked a declaration of war from Mexico. The war was won by the United States and in 1848 the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo made official the Mexican Cession which gave all the American Southwest to the Union. This made the US a transcontinental nation and settlers started pouring in.

One of these settlers, James Winston Marshall, discovered gold in the Flakes Mountains, in a property owned by John Sutter. The news of the gold became global and hundreds of thousands of new settlers came in search for fortune.

What were the causes of the Mexican Revolution of 1810? (OC1)
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Two things that helped spark the revolution were the salons and the location of Mexico. These salons were important because they gave the people a place to talk and discuss ideas. At the salons, during the Peninsular War, people began to discuss enlightenment ideas and independence. These discussions would allow for the revolution to take root with the common people, in turn leading to the support of the revolution by thousands of Mexicans. Because of Mexico’s close proximity to the United States, these enlightenment ideas were able to flow easily between the two countries. Also, the Mexican people were able to see the success of the American Revolution up close, in turn leading them to talks of independence for their own county. Thus, it is clear that the geographic proximity of Mexico to the United States and the salons played a key role in sparking the revolution.

The Past Teaches Us About the Present
Because history gives us the tools to analyze and explain problems in the past, it positions us to see patterns that might otherwise be invisible in the present – thus providing a crucial perspective for understanding (and solving!) current and future problems.
