question 17 of 20
all the land that the united states obtained between 1845 and 1853 came from which country?
a. mexico
b. spain
c. britain
d. france

Explanation:

During 1845 - 1853, the US acquired land like Texas (annexed 1845), and through the Mexican - American War (1846 - 1848) gained territories (e.g., California, New Mexico) from Mexico. Spain's colonial influence in US regions had diminished earlier, Britain's land transfers to US were mostly before this period (e.g., Oregon Treaty 1846 was with Britain but the main land acquisitions in 1845 - 1853 from Mexico), and France's major US land deal was the Louisiana Purchase (1803), not in this timeframe. So the land came from Mexico.

Answer:

A. Mexico
