California did not exist prior to 1850.  It was 'territory.'  The US immigration policy was largely non-existent prior to 1790.  You may find Benjamin Franklin's observations noteworthy however.\nThe Close-Up foundation has a VERY good discussion of this issue.  I wrote a "Debate! Citizenship" cd-rom for McGraw a few years ago for the Patterson textbook....you may be able to get hold of THAT....it has ORIGINAL documents and primary sources that may be able to 'walk' you through the US Immigration policy.  \nAs far as California goes, their last 'attempt' was Prop 187 and the Supreme Court declared much of it unconstitutional and an overreach by the state, in violation of the federal arrangement respecting 'reserved powers' of the US Government to determine 'citizenship.'\nhope this helps.

It officially drew us into World War II.  Just days after the Japanese attack on the Pacific Fleet Germany and Italy declared war on the United States drawing us into both theaters of the conflict.  On December 7, 1941 our Pacific Fleet was all but destroyed by the Japanese sneak attack.  This left us vulnerable in the Pacific and very much on the defensive for the first few months of the war.  We overcame these early obstacles, yet it still took nearly a full 4 years to bring the war to an end.

The US–Mexican War was a military conflict fought between the United States and Mexico in the years 1846 to 1848, in the wake of the U.S. annexation of Texas in 1845. Mexico had always refused to recognize the loss of Texas in 1836 and announced its intention to take back what it considered a rebel province. In the United States, the war was a partisan issue, supported by most Democrats and opposed by most Whigs. Popular belief in the Manifest Destiny of the United States ultimately translated into public support for the war. In Mexico, the war was considered a matter of national pride.\n\nThe most important consequence of the war was the Mexican Cession, in which the Mexican territories of California and New Mexico were ceded to the United States. The question of extending slavery to these new territories was a catalyst that helped bring on the American Civil War just 15 years later. In Mexico, the enormous loss of territory which resulted from the war encouraged the central government to enact policies to colonize its northern territories as a hedge against further losses.\n\nIn the U.S., the war is sometimes called the Mexican War. In Mexico, it is called la intervención norteamericana (the North American Intervention) or la guerra del 47 (the War of '47).

It was one of the original thirteen colonies, so it became a state in 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was signed changing the name of the colonies to the states.  Or if you want to be technical, 1789 when the Constitution was adopted officially.

texas gained its independence from mexico with little/no help from the US so when they won they became their own country and then a little while later the US annexed texas making it a state. Basically it was one star of the Us flag that stood on its own, so its the Lonestar state, and their flag has one star on it.

In the first World War, which began in 1914 America didn't join until 1917. It joined right at the end, when France was getting beaten on by the Germans and helped win though it's expected because America's troops were fresh and new.French troops had been fighting endlessly in their territory for 3 years already. \nIn WWII, America joined since the beginning in the fight against the fascism of Germany,Italy,& Japan which later included the Soviet Union as well until it was betrayed by Germany.It didn't really take a great part in it itself until Pearl Harbor, where Japan attacked us.

USA! I live in the OC, California, and if we broke off and made our own country we would be the seventh wealthiest country in the world. So right there that's only a small portion of the United States.  Money says a lot in terms of power!

Not sure what the question means - I'll guess California. It probably didn't send many men east to fight.
