Causes of the War with the United StatesThe following article comes from a Mexican scholar, Josefina Zoraida Vazquez. She wrote this article with the purpose of tracing the origins of the Mexican War.Mexican historians have always viewed expansionism as the origin of the war. But the war left an uncomfortable feeling of not being able to deal better with Mexico's defense. Mexicans do not consider the origins of the war covered in mystery and they affirm that the war was caused by the insatiable ambition of the United States , aided by their weakness.Up to 1821, while the economy and population of the United States knew a stable government for four decades dominated by impressive elite

There are quite a few cultural differences in the business worlds in Hong Kong and the States.In the states, employees have stronger feelings about and opinions of the intrinsic contracts of a business. The employees' inner images come into play with these feelings because they feel that if they have a good and strong inner image then the outer image will automatically be a good one.

The first foreign policy of the United States was neutrality. Just overcoming the English and getting liberty, the US faced the difficult undertaking of forming a new country. In an attempt to protect themselves from taking part in the quarrels of the Europeans and focusing on domestic affairs, a path of neutrality was followed. The roots of this first strategy can be seen as early as the administration of George Washington.Soon after Washington's inauguration in 1789, the French Revolution began.

A major problem in the United States was immigration. There had been so many immigrants coming that it caused the United States to get overpopulated. This led to nativism.
