The Mexican Cession was the result of a war caused by the Americans attempting to gain Mexico's land. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo marked the peace. It was in 1848 that the United States gained 500,000 square miles, increasing the size of the U.S by 25%. The Senate ratified the treaty in March of 1848. The states of California, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, most of Arizona were formed from this land.
New Mexico acquired part of its land through the Mexican Cession, the Gadsden Purchase, and the Texas annexation. The Mexican Cession in 1848 transferred a significant portion of land from Mexico to the United States, including New Mexico. The Gadsden Purchase in 1853 added further territory in the southern part of the state, while the Texas annexation in 1845 included areas that would later be part of New Mexico. These historical events collectively shaped the boundaries of present-day New Mexico.
