Answer:
United States
Explanation:
Some Texans hoped that recognition by the UNITED STATES might pave the way for annexation by that country.
This is evident in the fact that following the threats of war from Mexico to fight the Republic of Texas, the Texans in their attempt to find a solution sought to be annexed to the United States so that Mexico would not be able to conquer them.
Hence in 1845 convention was conducted and the decision to join the United States was made.
