Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not include the information or the text as a proper reference.

However, doing some research we can comment on the following.

This information supports the view that American dominance-then annexation of California- was in the best long term interests of North America.

This is correct because the United States saw a good opportunity to settle that territory that belonged to México at that time.

The problem was that the Russians owned a big portion of territory from Alaska to Fort Ross, located approximately 90 miles north of the port of San Francisco.

That port had been established in 1812 by the Russian-America Company. The government of Mexico was afraid of the Russians to invade the Mexican territory of California although the Russians left in 1841.

That is why the government of México invited the American people, to settle in because it wanted a kind of buffer to eliminate the possibility of the Russians settling in California.
