How did the US gain control of Texas California the American southwest and the Oregon territory?

The United States never had to fight a war to gain control of Texas and other southwest territories, such as the California territory. Texas was annexed in a time of peace in 1845 by the US; however, this provoked anger from the Mexican government which still did not recognize the independence of the Republic of Texas, and claimed it as still their own territory, albeit a "troublesome one." As a result of the US annexation of Texas, the Mexican-American War broke out.


Did the US gain the Utah territory peacefully?

Yes, the United States gained the Utah Territory peacefully. Following the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ceded a vast amount of territory from Mexico to the U.S., including present-day Utah. This acquisition was largely peaceful, as it was part of a negotiated settlement rather than a conflict over the territory itself. Subsequently, the Utah Territory was formally organized in 1850.
