This conflict arose from territorial disputes following the annexation of Texas by the United States. The war resulted in significant territorial gains for the U.S., including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado, Utah, and Nevada.
America expanded through a combination of territorial acquisitions, treaties, and military conquests. Key events included the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, which doubled the nation's size, and the annexation of Texas in 1845, followed by the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), which resulted in significant territorial gains in the West.
