The conflicts over the acquisition of former Mexican territory primarily stemmed from the U.S.-Mexico War (1846-1848), which was fueled by the U.S. belief in Manifest Destiny and the desire to expand westward. The war resulted in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, where Mexico ceded a vast amount of land, including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado, Utah, and Nevada. This territorial expansion led to tensions over issues such as slavery's extension into new states, cultural clashes, and the treatment of Mexican citizens in the annexed areas. These conflicts laid the groundwork for ongoing disputes over identity, governance, and rights in the region.
