Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

1. The passage explains the conflicts and disagreements that existed between the Mexicans and Americans before the start of the Mexican-American war. The two nations failed to agree on a defined boundary for Texas. The following statement supports this fact, "In 1844, annexation was negotiated between Texas and the U.S. with an important wrinkle: the  southern boundary was the Rio Grande. This border had been rejected by the Mexican Congress in  favor of the Nueces River farther north." This disagreement formed the basis of the war.

2. The United States was not justified in going into war with the Mexicans. The measures Polk used in resolving this matter appears deceitful and not straightforward. Placing military presence in California when the two nations had not agreed to terms and even offering bribe to an exiled dictator, were not good ways of reaching to terms.

The "Big Stick" foreign policy was the common name given to the addition of the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, after President Roosevelt's quote "speak softly, and carry a big stick, and you will go far".

The Big Stick policy was accepted and successful because it resulted in the creation of the Panama Canal and expanded American control in Cuba.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The similarity between the colonies written below.

Explanation:

The British colonies in the Chesapeake region and later in New England remain similar as settlers in both colonies came to settle here and look for new opportunities. Settlers came here for several reasons, including religious freedom and land opportunities.

Both regions maintained relationships with Native Americans, which was friendly as the Native American and settlers helped each other through trade. It all changed in the coming years, as battles and fights over land conflicts began where colonists were taking away the lands of the Natives for cultivation and grazing animals.
