Previous acquisitions, such as Louisiana and Florida were peaceful purchases of land. The Mexican Cession occurred through the spoils of war: the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) resulted in the undisputed acquisition of the whole states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Mexico fought the U.S. annexation of Texas after the Mexican-American War, which took place from 1846 to 1848. Following the war, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo resulted in Mexico ceding a large portion of its territory to the United States, including Texas. However, this annexation was controversial and led to ongoing tensions between the two nations, as Mexico never recognized the legitimacy of the annexation. The dispute contributed to long-lasting diplomatic and territorial issues between the U.S. and Mexico.

The Mexican War of 1848 primarily involved the United States and Mexico. The conflict arose over territorial disputes following the U.S. annexation of Texas, which Mexico still considered part of its territory. The war resulted in significant territorial gains for the U.S., including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming, formalized in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
