At any rate, we didnt make the same mistake until 1898, Guess you never heard of declaring war on Mexico in 1846.
Thanks for playing, but just not ready for prime time.

Mexico was a New World nation contiguous to the United States. By declaring war on Mexico, the United States was able to complete its Manifest Destiny to expand to the Pacific Coast, obtaining TX and much of the Mountain West as well. This had nothing to do with Old World squabbles. Thanks for playing, but you're not quite ready for prime time just yet.
