Mexico

By the mid-1840s, United States expansionism was expressed in terms of "Manifest Destiny". Texas was annexed in 1845, and in May 1846, after a Mexican cavalry detachment attacked a U.S. patrol in disputed territory, Congress declared war on Mexico. After its defeat, Mexico-in the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo-recognized the boundaries claimed by Texas (including the Rio Grande) and ceded California, Arizona, New Mexico and portions of Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming to the United States.
