Texas was lost during the Texas Revolution (1835-1836). Territory of Texas at the time included present-day Texas, as well as parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming.
During the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) Mexico lost all the remaining territories, including present-day California, Nevada, Utah and the rest of Colorado as well as most of northern New Mexico and Arizona. Also at the end of the war Mexico was forced to cease any attempt on reclaiming Texas. This is also known as the Mexican Cession (1848).
Finally, during the Gadsden Purchase (1853), Mexico sold parts of southern Arizona and New Mexico to the United States. This was the only peaceful purchase of land made from Mexico.
