Manifest Destiny, the 19th-century belief that the United States was destined to expand across the continent, significantly impacted Spanish and Mexican rule in California. This ideology fueled American interest in the region, leading to increased migration and settlement by U.S. citizens. Ultimately, it contributed to the U.S.-Mexico War (1846-1848) and the subsequent Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which resulted in California becoming a part of the United States, effectively ending Mexican rule in the area. The belief in Manifest Destiny justified the annexation and the displacement of Mexican inhabitants in favor of American settlers.
