What serious problems did the Republic of Texas face as a new nation?

The Republic of Texas was sparsely populated, the Native American population was hostile to white settlers, and the white settlers themselves were hostile too, leading to social conflict.

Besides, the Republic enjoyed very little international recognition, had Mexico declare war on it, and most of the population wanted to merge with the United States.

These factors ultimately led to disappearance of the Republic and its merging with the United States.

the options of this question are:

a) president wilson’s desire to form the league of nations  

b) germany’s desire for reasonable conditions of surrender and fair treatment.  

c)europe’s desire to maintain original pre-war borders  

d) the allies’ desire to seek retribution for germany’s actions

the correct answer is d) the allies’ desire to seek retribution for germany’s actions.

the allies’ desire to seek retribution for germany’s actions had the greatest influence on how germany was treated after world war i.

it is estimated that the cost of wwi was around 260 billion dollars, and the allies wanted germany to pay a big part for the losses. the allies also wanted to impose land losses as well as limit the army of germany and confiscate their industrial resources to apply the retribution.

in the united states, president woodrow wilson created the fourteen points to be delivered to germany, as a peace program. he presented these documents to the u.s. congress in january 1918.
