What if United States would have bought the Baja peninsula and large tracts or northern Mexico from Santa Anna when he offered them in the latter half of the nineteenth century? Also WI the U.S. would have allowed the Yucatan peninsula to become a state after they formed their own country instead of rejecting them and let them rejoin with Mexico. I am just curious on what peoples thought are on this subject. I personally think it was a blunder on our part, or maybe not I don't know how prepared to deal with the Spanish flu epidemic that spread through Mexico in the Early 20th century. If we had though I think that eventually all of Mexico would had joined up with the U.S. and the United States would have extended all the way to the Panama canal.
