The answer is: The incorporation of new territory into a country.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Establishing a government abroad to promote peace: This option is incorrect. Annexation specifically refers to the incorporation of new territory into an existing country, not the establishment of a government abroad for peacekeeping purposes.

  2. Voluntarily giving up territory to another country: This option is incorrect. Annexation involves adding territory to a country, not giving it up. The term for giving up territory is usually "cession."

  3. The incorporation of new territory into a country: This option is correct. In U.S. history, annexation refers to the process by which the United States has incorporated new territories into its national boundaries. A notable example is the annexation of Texas in 1845.

  4. The diplomatic effort to form trade agreements with other nations: This option is incorrect. While trade agreements are an important aspect of international relations, they do not involve the incorporation of new territory into a country, which is what annexation refers to.
