The Texas annexation refers to the incorporation of the Republic of Texas into the United States as the 28th state on December 29, 1845.

The annexation contributed to tensions between the U.S. and Mexico, ultimately leading to the Mexican-American War. It remains a significant moment in American history, reflecting the complexities of territorial expansion and national identity.
The annexation of Texas was controversial because it was a disputed territory claimed by Mexico, which led to tensions and conflict between the United States and Mexico.
