Choose the best answer. What was the war between the US and Mexico about?

The war between the US and Mexico, known as the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), primarily stemmed from territorial disputes following the annexation of Texas by the US. Mexico viewed this annexation as illegitimate, leading to conflicts over borders and land claims. The US aimed to expand its territory further westward, driven by the ideology of Manifest Destiny. Ultimately, the war resulted in significant territorial gains for the US, including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado, Utah, and Nevada.
