The treaty that ended the U.S. war with Mexico in 1848 is the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Signed on February 2, 1848, the treaty resulted in Mexico ceding a significant portion of its territory to the United States, including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming. The agreement also established the Rio Grande as the border between Texas and Mexico.
After the Mexican-American War, the United States acquired significant territories through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. This included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and parts of Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming. Additionally, the Gadsden Purchase in 1853 added parts of present-day southern Arizona and New Mexico. Together, these acquisitions expanded U.S. territory significantly and shaped the nation's western frontier.
The United States fought the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) to acquire the Mexican Cession. This conflict arose from territorial disputes and the U.S. desire to expand westward. Following the war, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed, resulting in Mexico ceding a significant portion of its northern territories, including present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and parts of Colorado and New Mexico.
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.
