1 answer
The main event leading to the annexation of Texas was the desire of the Republic of Texas to join the United States. Texas had gained independence from Mexico in 1836 and remained an independent nation for almost a decade. However, due to economic struggles and fears of Mexican aggression, Texans sought annexation by the United States. In 1845, the U.S. Congress approved the annexation of Texas, making it the 28th state of the United States.
