Because Mexico had a very small population at the time. Before the conquest of Mexico by Spain, Mexico had a population of some 50 million people, but most of them died to diseases brought by Europeans or by the precarious life standards imposed by the conquerors. Present-day Mexico and its northern territories had a population of only 6 million on 1821, after its War of Independence.
Nowadays, Mexico has a population of 112 million, and the lost territories include at least another 76 million (the populations of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, but not taking into account the populations of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas).
