What impact did innovation have on the population of Texas after World War II?

Based on the given options, the correct answer would be Option D: "It had little impact; Texan independence came with the defeat of General Santa Anna."

To arrive at this answer, let's first evaluate the other options:

Option A: "It had some impact; as it was considered a territory, Texas could not organize an independent army." This option suggests that the Mexican government's refusal to ratify the Treaties of Velasco had some impact on the movement towards Texan independence because Texas, as a territory, could not organize an independent army. However, this is not entirely accurate. While it is true that Texas was considered a Mexican territory, the Texan rebels managed to organize and mobilize their own military forces, such as the Texan army led by Sam Houston. Therefore, this option does not accurately assess the impact of the Mexican government's refusal.

Option B: "It had no impact; the US threatened war against Mexico unless Texan independence was granted." This option suggests that the Mexican government's refusal to ratify the Treaties of Velasco had no impact because the United States threatened war against Mexico unless Texan independence was granted. While the US did have an interest in Texas and the expansion of its territory, the Mexican government's refusal to ratify the treaties did have an impact. It further strained the relationship between Mexico and Texas, leading to increased tensions and conflict.

Option C: "It had a significant impact; the world refused to recognize Texas as a sovereign nation." This option suggests that the Mexican government's refusal to ratify the treaties had a significant impact because the world refused to recognize Texas as a sovereign nation. While it is true that the Mexican government's refusal to ratify the treaties contributed to international hesitation in recognizing Texas as an independent nation, it is an exaggeration to say that the impact was significant. Several countries, including the United States, did eventually recognize Texas as a sovereign nation, regardless of Mexico's position.

Option D: "It had little impact; Texan independence came with the defeat of General Santa Anna." This option accurately evaluates the impact of the Mexican government's refusal. General Santa Anna, the Mexican president and military leader, played a crucial role in the Texas Revolution. The defeat of Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836 resulted in Texan independence. Therefore, the refusal to ratify the Treaties of Velasco had little impact on the ultimate outcome of Texan independence.

In summary, Option D is the most accurate evaluation of how the Mexican government's refusal to ratify the Treaties of Velasco impacted the movement towards Texan independence.
