The correct answer is 3. It enabled the United States to annex Texas.
The US-Mexican War, which took place from 1846 to 1848, resulted in the United States acquiring territories from Mexico through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This included the annexation of Texas, which had previously declared independence from Mexico in 1836. The war also led to the Mexican Cession, where Mexico ceded vast territories in the southwest, including present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming, to the United States. The war did not specifically address the other options listed.
