Question

The United States annotated the "legitimacy" of its territorial expansion by force through the so-called "manifest destiny theory", but this could not cover up the aggressiveness and predatory nature of the Us-Mexico war. The so-called "manifest destiny" means that the United States was "ordained" to establish a nation, expand its territory, and establish democratic and free institutions. This concept has a long and profound influence on the foreign behavior of the United States, and fundamentally, it is the "legitimacy" coat for The Expansionism of the United States (no matter in territory, or in terms of ideology and system).

Answer 1

Manifest Destiny was a political and cultural vision of the United States of America in the 19th century, which expressed the necessity and justification of expansionism, the advancement and development of America towards the west of the continent.

This concept served as the ideological basis for the war against Mexico, which implied the annexation of Texas and California to the United States, as well as the annexation of Hawaii, the war against Spain and the advances on the French and British territories in North America.

Thus, this belief, which evolved into an ideology, became the main element of legitimation of American expansion, with politicians who based their expansionist platforms on the assertion of its postulates.
