In December 1845, Texas was formally admitted to the United States as the 28th state. This annexation heightened tensions between the U.S. and Mexico, as Mexico still considered Texas a part of its territory following its 1836 independence. The situation ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Mexican-American War in 1846. The annexation was a significant milestone in U.S. expansionism and the concept of Manifest Destiny.
