The United States expanded to include 48 of the 50 states through a series of treaties, purchases, and conflicts from 1783 to 1867. Key events included the Louisiana Purchase, Texas Annexation, the acquisition of Florida, and the outcomes of the Mexican-American War. Ultimately, these expansions were influenced by the ideology of Manifest Destiny, asserting the nation's right to expand its territory across North America.
