Porfirio Diaz and Victoriano Huerta were driven off the country. In essence, the people won.
The Mexican cession was the outcome of the Mexican American war.
It was the beginning of the Civil War.
The Mexican war bombed fort Sumter, which led to the begging of the Civil War!
The most important long term result of the Mexican-American War wasn't the expansion of the United States by a third (if including Texas), but the experience gained by the American officers that fought in the war. I believe this because the same officers that fought in the Mexican-American War also fought in the American Civil War, which if it weren't for the Mexican-American War the officers in the Civil War might have had different tactics, which could have lead to a different outcome of the Civil War. This alternative outcome would have been the Southern United States successfully succeeding from the Union and the eventual takeover of the Northern and Southern United States by Britain, Spain, and France.
