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.
