Answer 2

One of the main causes of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) was the annexation of Texas by the United States in 1845. After winning independence from Mexico in 1836, Texas sought to join the U.S., which heightened tensions between Mexico and the United States. Other contributing factors included border disputes, particularly over whether the southern boundary of Texas was the Nueces River or the Rio Grande, and the desire of the U.S. to expand its territory, a concept known as Manifest Destiny. If you have specific options in mind, please provide them for a more tailored response.

Answer 3

Yes, that is correct. The annexation of Texas by the United States in 1845 was a significant cause of the Mexican-American War. This action increased tensions between the U.S. and Mexico, leading to conflict over territorial claims and ultimately sparking the war.
