In 1854, the Ostend Manifesto was written, which set out the reason for the United States to buy Cuba from Spain, implying the seizure of the island by force if Spain refused.

In this presentation, we will not be talking about the counties that want to become states. Our goal is to find out why the "fifty-first states" exist at all. Mexico In 1847–48, with the United States occupying Mexico at the conclusion of the Mexican–American War, there was talk in Congress of annexing the entirety of Mexico. The result was the Mexican Cession, also called the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo for the town in which the treaty was signed, in which the U.S. annexed over 40% of Mexico. Talk of annexing all of Mexico disappeared after this time. In 1848 a bill was debated in congress that would have annexed the Republic of Yucatán, but a vote failed to take place.
