My nation is based in North America and I'm looking for critical junctions somewhere between the 1850s and 1980s.
So tell me: What are some good moments in history within this timeframe where a small decision could have had massive consequences?

Those weren't States of the Mexican Republic, they were Territories.
Also, to say that we annexed Mexico isn't right at all. To make this guys statement factually correct, the United States would have had to annex all of Mexico, not just their Northern Territories.
