jackson's attempt to purchase texas from mexico for $5,000,000 failed. the chargé d'affaires in mexico, colonel anthony butler, suggested that the u.s. take texas over militarily, but jackson refused. butler was later replaced toward the end of jackson's presidency. in 1835, the texas revolution began when pro-slavery american settlers in texas fought the mexican government for texan independence. by may 1836, they had routed the mexican military, establishing an independent republic of texas. the new texas government legalized slavery and demanded recognition from president jackson and annexation into the united states. jackson was hesitant in recognizing texas, unconvinced that the new republic could maintain independence from mexico, and not wanting to make texas an anti-slavery issue during the 1836 election. the strategy worked; the democratic party and national loyalties were held intact, and van buren was elected president. jackson formally recognized the republic of texas, nominating alcée louis la branche as chargé d'affaires on the last full day of his presidency, march 3, 1837.

the reichsmark was introduced in 1924 as a permanent replacement for the papiermark. this was necessary due to the 1920s german inflation which had reached its peak in 1923. the exchange rate between the old papiermark and the reichsmark was 1 ℛℳ = 10 papiermark (one trillion in us english and french, one billion in german and other european languages and uk english of the time; see long and short scales). to stabilize the economy and to smooth the transition, the papiermark was not directly replaced by the reichsmark, but by the rentenmark, an interim currency backed by the "deutsche rentenbank", owning industrial and agricultural real estate assets. the reichsmark was put on the gold standard at the rate previously used by the goldmark, with the u.s. dollar worth 4.2 ℛℳ.
