Annexation in the United States was a key strategy used to expand territory and influence, particularly during the 19th century. Notable examples include the annexation of Texas in 1845, which heightened tensions with Mexico and contributed to the Mexican-American War. Additionally, the acquisition of territories such as Hawaii and parts of the Pacific Islands reflected a broader imperialist approach. Overall, annexation facilitated economic growth, settlement expansion, and increased geopolitical power for the United States.
