Many people felt that the Mexican War was unjustified—that the United States was "beating up" Mexico. Name at least two prominent people who opposed the war.

Henry David Thoreau and Abraham Lincoln

Explanation:

The American – Mexican War between 1846 and 1848 started over a border dispute and ended with America gaining half a million square miles of Mexican land.

It was opposed by many people especially democrats who only saw it as an opportunity to take Mexican land. Some strong opponents of the war were:

Henry David Thoreau who refused to pay the poll tax and was sent to jail for ding so.

Abraham Lincoln: was still a congressman at the time and he created the spot resolutions which aimed to find out if the war was justified.

yes

explanation:

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
