D. an independent nation

History/context:

Texas had been a part of Mexico since Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821. But there was plenty of tension between the Mexican government and the territory of Texas. Texas declared its independence from Mexico in 1836, and under the leadership of Sam Houston, defeated the Mexican army at the Battle of San Jacinto in April of that year. However, the Mexican government continued to refuse official recognition of Texas' independence.

When the Republic of Texas was established in 1836, the citizens of the newly independent country voted for Sam Houston as their president ... but also voted their endorsement of Texas becoming part of the United States.  There was plenty of delay before that happened, however, because there was question and controversy over whether or not Texas would enter the Union as a slave state. 

In the process of those long negotiations, the government of Texas had also looked to Great Britain for possible support in its ongoing tensions with Mexico. In 1843, Sam Houston's administration in Texas was considering making a deal with the Mexican government that would allow Texas to govern itself but with some connection to Mexico. They would have asked Great Britain to act as mediator in negotiating with Mexico.

Ultimately, however, the United States Congress did finally vote for acceptance of Texas as a state in 1844. In 1845, Texas entered the US as the 28th state ... and permitted as a slave state.

D. an independent nation.

Initially, during 1830, Texas was a part of Mexican territory, however, a group of settlers from the United States who lived in the State declared independence from Mexico, and called the new state as the Republic of Texas. The state remained an independent territory for nine years, until it was annexed by the United States in 1845, and became its 28th state. The annexation of Texas led to the Mexican- American War, (1846-1848) due to a border dispute regarding the boundaries of the new state. Conflict emerged over a disagreement between which river was the true northern border of Mexico (Nuecus or the Rio Grande).

Further Explanation:

Texas formed a part of the new Mexican state which won independence from Spain along with California and New Mexico. Soon, settlers from the United States began to settle in Texas, influencing the politics of the region. Alarmed by their growing influence, the Mexican government attempted to stop immigration, but to no avail. In 1835, the American settlers formed a provisional government, and called for independence, but were met by strong opposition from the Mexican government who also sanctioned military action to curb the rebels. The Mexican forces were defeated, and Texas became an independent country under its new President, Sam Houston. The pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in Texas engaged in debates and discussions over the expansion of slavery in Texas, and ultimately it was drawn within the 1861 civil war of America. It became necessary for the United States under President John Tyler to annex Texas, and it formally became an American State in 1845.

in 'popular history' of europe in america it's common to blame the rise of the nazis (and of coursewwii, too) mainly on the treaty of versailles. despite the harshness of the treaty and despite the inflation of 1919-23 germany did benefit from the economic buoyancy of the roaring twenties. in the general election in 1928, the nazis only managed to get 12 (out of about 584) seats in the reichstag. the nazis were widely seen as a laughing-stock led by a funny little man given to yelling and wild gesticulation. of all european countries, none was hit harder than germany by the stockmarket crash of october 1929. germany had borrowed very large sums from american banks, with much of the money repayable either on demand or at short notice. these loans were of course recalled, and bankruptcies in germany rose sharply from the start of 1930 (or earlier). unemployment rose sharply, too. the german constitution of 1919 contained much that was utopian, including the right to paid employment. the realities of the situation made a mockery of the weimar constitution. one of german's great weaknesses at the time was the lack of a broadly based, popular right-wing party comparable to, say, the republicans in the us or the conservatives in britain. the obvious candidate, the german nationalists (the dnvp), had lost its grip and was hopelessly out oftouch with many of its supporters especially in rural areas. germany became increasingly hard to govern.

from about the middle of 1930 onwards the new chancellor, br�ning, had to govern by decree. in the absence of mainstream right-wing party, the nazis - who ruthlessly exploited genuine grievances - suddenly became the largest single party in the reichstag. with the growing effects of the great depression, unemployment reached about 27% (or more) in 1932. acting on bad advice (from the dnvp) hindenburg dismissed brüning in july 1932. in the general election that followed, the nazis won 37% of the seats. the other party that did well was the communist party (kpd) with 14%. fresh elections were held in november 1932: the nazi vote fell slightly, but the communist vote rose to 17%. in the streets of berlin and other major cities violence between left and right and their paramilitary wings grew. by late 1932, the effects of the great depression in germany had passed their peak, but this wasn't obvious at the time. the steady rise in communist vote triggered panic among most of the mainstream parties. after trying various solutions to the political crisis, hindenburg again took very bad advice - again from the dnvp. on the basis of this advice, he appointed hitler reichs chancellor on 30 january 1933 who promised to form a coalition with the german nationalists (dnvp). he did so, but at the same time almost immediately unleashed the sa (stormtroopers) who started a reign of terror within two months germany became a dictatorship, complete with concentration camps. joncey
