Oregon was added to the United States through a treaty with Great Britain in 1846, establishing the Oregon Territory. California and New Mexico were acquired as a result of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), culminating in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, which formalized the U.S. acquisition of these territories. President James K. Polk played a significant role in promoting the expansion that led to these acquisitions.
