Manifest destiny was realized in the mid-1800s in various ways. With the Oregon territory, it was through negotiation. With the Southwest, it came from war with Mexico and taking the land. In your opinion, would such large territorial expansion be possible today for the United States? Why or why not?

    Yes-The United States is a wealthy nation with a powerful military.

    No-Information travels quickly now and much of the world may condemn US aggression.

    Much of the world is not lightly populated like western North America was in the 1800s.

    The people of the United States might not support wars of aggression now

    yes, America could still in fact get a large territory. They could get it by force (war), Buy the land, or a treaty. The bigger question however, is it worth doing it. If America wants to get the land by war that just adds to what the're doing in the middle east, and if it's a neighbor next to them (Canada or Mexico) the blood shead could be high because of pupulated cities. As for money or a treaty it wouln't be that much of a risk but it depends on how much money and the details of the treaty.
