Mexico ceded California and the New Mexico Territory to the United States as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, which ended the Mexican-American War. This treaty resulted in Mexico relinquishing a significant portion of its northern territories, including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming. The cession significantly expanded U.S. territory and played a crucial role in the nation's westward expansion.
