Let us know what you decide.
To determine which of the following was not a long-range cause of the conflict between the United States and Mexico in 1844-1845, we need to first identify the options provided. Without the options being explicitly mentioned, I cannot provide a specific answer. However, I can provide you with some general long-range causes of the conflict between the United States and Mexico during that time period.
1. Manifest Destiny: The belief that it was the destiny of the United States to expand across the North American continent. This ideology fueled American desires for westward expansion, which ultimately led to conflicts with Mexico over territory.
2. Annexation of Texas: The United States annexed the Republic of Texas in 1845, which had previously declared independence from Mexico in 1836. Mexico considered Texas as part of its territory and viewed the annexation as an act of aggression.
3. Border disputes: There were ongoing territorial disputes between Mexico and the United States, with each country claiming ownership of certain regions. The border between the two nations was a contentious issue and contributed to the tension that eventually led to war.
4. Economic interests: Both the United States and Mexico had economic interests in the territories in question, particularly in the fertile lands of California and the Southwest. Control over these regions was seen as crucial to securing economic dominance and expansion.
By assessing these general long-range causes, you can narrow down the options provided and identify the one that was NOT a long-range cause of the conflict between the United States and Mexico in 1844-1845.
