The United States gained territory from Mexico primarily through the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). Following the war, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed, which resulted in Mexico ceding approximately 500,000 square miles of land to the U.S., including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming. Additionally, the Gadsden Purchase in 1853 further expanded U.S. territory by acquiring land in southern Arizona and New Mexico. These events significantly shaped the borders of the United States as we know them today.
