The Gadsden Purchase in 1854 resulted in the acquisition of land that is now southern Arizona and New Mexico, facilitating the expansion of U.S. territory and the construction of a southern transcontinental railroad. While the purchase price of $10 million was viewed as excessive by some, the land gained strategic importance for trade and transportation. Ultimately, the value of this territory became evident as it contributed to economic development and settlement in the region. Whether it was worth the purchase price can be debated, but its long-term significance to U.S. infrastructure and expansion is clear.

How does Mexico's climate affect its economy and global partnerships with other countries?

The economy of Mexico has been helped or hindered by climate. For example, the Chihuahuan desert in the north is the result of a 'rain shadow' effect induced by the Sierra Madre mountain range. This has limited agriculture to small fertile pockets within Mexico, which cover only 12-17% of Mexico's territory.
