| Â | The History Guy: The U.S.-Mexican War (1846-1848) |
 | | The fact that most of those areas already had people living upon them was usually ignored, with the attitude that democratic English-speaking America, with its high ideals and Protestant Christian ethics, would do a better job of running things than the Native Americans or Spanish-speaking Catholic Mexicans. | | | The belief that the U.S. basically had a God-given right to occupy and "civilize" the whole continent gained favor as more and more Americans settled the western lands. | | | The Mexican-American War was the first major conflict driven by the idea of "Manifest Destiny"; the belief that America had a God-given right, or destiny, to expand the country's borders from 'sea to shining sea'. |

| Â | Purposes in America...Once and Now / About the Spanish-American War and today |
| | Many Americans who had thought the 1898 war was to help an oppressed people, came to feel they had been duped, or that some beginning just cause had been exploited horribly. | | | In a Cuba in which the people were oppressed by Spain, American businesses were able to make a lot of money, from plantations, mines, and other enterprises -- from the resources of the Cuban earth and the labor of the obscenely paid Cuban people. | | | Respect for the world and people is certainly in the desire of Americans to stop the Al Qaeda terrorists and have our nation safe. |

| | Although the coup initially failed, the ensuing Spanish Civil War ended in 1939 with the victory of the nationalist forces led by the ruthlessly efficient General Francisco Franco and supported by Nazi Germany and fascist Italy. | | | The extended, lingering, decline of the Spanish empire was due in large part, ironically, to its spectacular successes in the 15th and 16th centuries that led to the centuries of the treasure fleets bringing back silver and gold from the American mines. | | | Spanish society under Muslim rule became increasingly complex, partly because Islamic conquest did not involve the systematic conversion of the conquered population to Islam. |

| | Surely one can recall the events of the Napoleonic Wars, the American Civil War, the War of 1812, and perhaps the Spanish-American War, but few people remember the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. | | | The cause of this war was one of the greatest migrations in all American history: the move west. | | | A renegade Mexican general ambushed the unit, and there were fourteen American causalities: eleven dead, three wounded (Cary 3, “United States of America” 226, “Mexican War 79”). |

| | When the MAINE exploded in Havana harbour, Spanish public opinion was not aware of the consequences that a war to retain the remains of the empire would bring upon the nation. | | | In the first case some modern historians in Spain have elaborated the theory that the Spanish government knew that the independence of Cuba was inexorable, but since the unilateral abandonment of Cuba could bring tensions in the army and the population, the loss had to be justified by being one through a military defeat. | | | On March 21, the American commission that investigated the sinking of the MAINE, accepted the thesis of the planned explosion and the American public opinion, instigated by the "yellow press," increases the pressure on the government to fight in Cuba. |
