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.

What country fought its U.S. annexation after the war?

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.
