opinionsdiffered from each other. In 1846‚ a war broke out between the two overdisputed territories. The Mexican-American war was one of the mostcontroversial events that occurred in the 19 th century. Both nationsclaimed that the other was at fault for causing the war. The Mexicans mayhave had their reasons for thinking so; however‚ the Americans wereequally justified‚ if not more‚ in going to war with Mexico.One of the main conflicts that drove intentions of going to war wasa disagreement of what the true

headway was evident despite many strenuous efforts. During the War of 1812‚ Robert Fulton experimented with simple submarines numerous times. His most remembered trial was with the Nautilus‚ but both that submarine and his following ones were overall weak displays that gathered barely any interest from the French and Royal Navy who he had hoped to impress. He even constructed basic torpedoes that were able to sink anchored ships in hopes of gaining the support of the English

Was Mexico justified to go to war with the United States? This essay argues the US was justified because Mexico invaded US territory‚ Mexician territories needed a new government‚ and Mexican territories didn´t respect the US reconciliation. Mexico invaded the United States terrirory. The quote that supports this is‚”Mexico has passed the boundry of the United States… has invaded our territory and shed American blood upon the American soil.”(Polk). This made the United States justified to

Sadly‚ America was always like this and‚ even back to when it was first starting out‚ the people were like mules. The colonists that slaughtered hundreds and thousands of Native Americans (oops!) were complaining about their ex girlfriend Britain all the time. They thought they were the victim in every scenario‚ when in reality‚ they were just being ignorant and only cared about themselves! Now‚ there has been a debate (not really) if the colonies were justified in going to several wars with Britain

The war of 1812 took place in America and Canada. The Americans fought with the British and natives of the land. When the US and congress declared war on Great Britain‚ they may not have realized that their success seemed to be doomed to begin with. There was strong lack of support from American citizens to go to war‚ this was because of several reasons. Divided forces from different states caused problems and didn’t want to cooperate or complete certain tasks. Ports were not being allowed for war

expansionistic than it had been for the past few decades. There was apparently a hunger for foreign conquest. The conflict with Spain derived mainly from the American desire to help the beleaguered Cubans with their independence from Spain. Americans wanted the war‚ which could well have been avoided‚ but they had little understanding of what the reults of the war would be. I believe American entry into the Spanish-American war was not justified. In September‚ 1895‚ came the event which changed the course

America was changed because it became less dependent on Europe economically‚ American politics moved toward a new era‚ and America had more diplomatic respect from other

Was the conquest of Mexico justified? Was it the work of men carrying out God ’s will on Earth? Or was simpler than that? Was it just greed and jealousy‚ as old as Cain and Abel? This question can be debated to no end by people on opposite ends of the spectrum. The Spaniards were quick to justify their actions as fair‚ proper‚ and necessary. However‚ a more modern‚ western mind can certainly look at the events and judge them to be unjust‚ perhaps even evil a likening to the violence and prejudice

Jacksonian Democracy was or was not democratic? Jacksonian Democracy marked the age "of the common man" and the era for an improvement on government and society.
