Yes. Originally, both formed part of the Territorio de Nuevo Mexico (New Mexico Territory) as well as some of the Sonoran territories (specifically, the Mesilla Valley which is now part of southern Arizona and New Mexico).During the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848, Mexico lost the New Mexico Territory. Later on, by means of the Gadsden Purchase in 1853, Mexico sold the Mesilla Valley to the United States.
During World War I, yet for many years before and even well after, a significant piece of territory disputed between France and Germany was the Alsace-Lorraine region. Located on the far western border of Germany (or, on the far eastern border of France) just to the north of Switzerland, Alsace-Lorraine exchanged owners numerous times in preceding centuries as a result of claims to ownership by these two countries.
Nothing; Mexico was in the middle of its Mexican Revolution (1910-1921). That is the reason the Pershing Punitive Expedition (1916-1917) was carried out, and Mexico was unable to prevent the entry of American troops into its territory.
None. New Mexico, which was lost during the Mexican-American War in 1848, became a state in 1912 but it had already been a territory of the United States for the previous 64 years.

The Confederate capital of New Mexico Territory during the Civil War was Mesilla. New Mexico and Arizona were combined at that time into a territory. Mesilla was located in the southern section of this territory.
The US claimed what became the New Mexico territory during the Mexican-American War. It was primarily a linear western extension from Texas.
Perhaps because Mexico lost it during the Mexican-American WAR(1846-1848)?

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.

Germany was interested in becomes allied with Mexico. Germany promised Mexico territory it lost during the Mexican-American war (Texas, Utah, parts of California) should they form an alliance.
Probably, because Mexico didn't exist at the time. From 1521 until 1821, present-day Mexico was an overseas territory of the Spanish Crown, known as New Spain.
Santa Fe fell without a shot being fired. Other included Monterrey, Veracruz, San Diego, Los Angeles and Mexico City.
I guess you mean NEW Mexico, which became a territory of the United States after being lost by Mexico (the country) during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). In that case, yes it was incorporated into the US at that time.
