Which country did the United States fight to gain possession of Texas? Mexico France Great Britain Spain

Mexico

Explanation:

The US intervention in Mexico was a war that Mexico and the United States confronted between the years 1846 and 1848. It began as a result of the expansionist pretensions of the United States, whose first step was the creation of the Republic of Texas, which split of the Mexican state of Coahuila and Texas (see Texas Independence). Other triggers were the entry of the US Army into the area between the Nueces and Bravo rivers and the demand for compensation from the Mexican government for the damages caused in Texas during its war of independence.

The Americans landed in Veracruz and conquered the Mexican capital, after which the Mexicans were forced to sign the peace of Guadalupe Hidalgo, by which the United States annexed the current states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and part of today called Wyoming.
