If the United States had not acquired the territories of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 and the Gadsden Purchase in 1853, Mexico would have retained a significantly larger land area. This would have roughly added about 1.2 million square miles to Mexico's territory, vastly impacting its geographic and political landscape. The loss of these territories was a key factor in shaping the borders and Demographics of both nations.
