question 11 2 pts which conflict was directly related to the idea of manifest destiny and resulted in the u.s. acquisition of large territories in the west? the spanish - american war the mexican - american war the war on drugs the american revolution

Explanation:

Manifest Destiny was a 19th - century belief that the U.S. was destined to expand across the continent. The Mexican - American War (1846 - 1848) was directly related to this idea. After the war, the U.S. acquired a large amount of territory in the West, including present - day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and parts of New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
The Spanish - American War (1898) was more about overseas expansion (e.g., in the Caribbean and the Pacific like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines). The War on Drugs is a 20th - century initiative related to law enforcement and public health. The American Revolution (1775 - 1783) was about gaining independence from Britain, not westward expansion based on Manifest Destiny.

Answer:

The Mexican - American War
