ASSIGNMENT 3. Read the text and answer the questions.
The American way of war tends to shy away from thinking about the complicated
process of turning military triumphs, whether on the scale of major campaigns or small-
unit actions, into strategic successes. By no means unique to Americans—in which
military professionals concentrate on winning battles and campaigns, while
policymakers focus on the diplomatic struggles that precede and influence the actual
fighting. The American style of warfare amounts to a way of battle more than a way of
war.
The Indian Wars 1835-1842 American Indian Wars is the name used in the United
States to describe a series of conflicts between American or the federal government and
the native peoples of North America before and after the American Revolutionary War.
The wars resulted from the arrival of European colonizers who continuously sought to
expand their territory, pushing the indigenous populations westwards. The wars were
spurred by ideologies such as Manifest Destiny, which held that the United States was
destined to expand from coast to coast on the American continent, and which resulted in
the policy of Indian removal, by which indigenous peoples were removed from the areas
where Europeans were settling, either forcefully or by means of voluntary exchange of
territory through treaties.
Mexican War 1846-1848. A conflict that occurred as the result of Mexican resentment
over the US annexation of Texas and a border dispute, the Mexican-American War
represents the only major military dispute between Mexico was forced to cede its
northern and western provinces the two nations. The war was fought primarily in
northeastern and central Mexico and resulted in a decisive American victory. As a result
of the war , which today comprise a significant portion of the western United States.
The causes of the Mexican-American War can be traced back to Texas winning its
independence from Mexico in 1836. After the end of the war, Mexico was forced to cede
its northern and western provinces but was prevented from taking military action due to
the United States, Great Britain, and France conferring diplomatic recognition. For the
next nine years, many in Texas favored joining the United States, however Washington
did not take action due to fears of increasing sectional conflict and angering the
Mexicans. During the war 1,773 Americans were killed in action and 4,152 were
wounded. Mexican casualty reports are incomplete, but it estimated that approximately
25,000 were killed or wounded between 1846-1848. Aftermath of the Mexican-American
War
Spanish-American War 1898. The Spanish–American War was a conflict in 1898
between Spain and the United States, effectively the result of American intervention in
the ongoing Cuban War of Independence. American attacks on Spain's Pacific
possessions led to involvement in the Philippine Revolution and ultimately to the
Philippine–American War. Although the main issue was Cuban independence, the ten-
week war was fought in both the Caribbean and the Pacific. The result was the 1898
Treaty of Paris, negotiated on terms favorable to the U.S., which allowed temporary
American control of Cuba and, following their purchase from Spain, indefinite colonial
authority over Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines.
