What was manifest war?

Answer 1

The term "manifest war" is not widely recognized, but it may refer to conflicts or military actions justified by the ideology of Manifest Destiny, which was the 19th-century belief that the expansion of the United States across the American continents was both justified and inevitable. This ideology fueled wars, such as the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), where territorial expansion was pursued under the belief that it was America's divine right. The consequences of this expansion often led to significant displacement and suffering for Indigenous peoples and other nations. Manifest Destiny thus had profound implications for U.S. policy and relations with neighboring countries.
