Answer 1

The two points about the impact of the United States acquiring the Oregon Territory are:

1. It opened trade routes to the Pacific.
2. It led to war with Mexico. (While not a direct cause of the acquisition, it is related in the context of territorial expansion and the conflicts that arose from it.)

While the other options may have some relevance in broader historical context, the opening of trade routes to the Pacific and the tensions that contributed to the Mexican-American War are more directly related to the impact of acquiring the Oregon Territory.
