Utah, California, and Nevada were acquired by the United States from Mexico as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, which ended the Mexican-American War. This treaty resulted in the U.S. gaining a significant portion of Mexico's northern territories, including these states. Additionally, the Gadsden Purchase in 1853 further defined the southern borders of these areas.
