What was the war with Mexico from 1846 to 1848?

Answer 1

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (Spanish: Tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo) is the peace treaty, largely dictated by the United States to the interim government of a militarily occupied Mexico, that ended the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848). The cession that the treaty facilitated included parts of the modern-day U.S. states of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming, as well as the whole of California, Nevada, and Utah, and, depending on one's point of view, Texas.

The remaining parts of what are today the states of Arizona and New Mexico were later peacefully ceded under the 1853 Gadsden Purchase, in which the United States paid an additional $10,000,000.

Answer 2

Much of what is the US southwest and California became US territory.
