The Adams-Onís Treaty, signed in 1819, formalized the boundary between the United States and New Spain, which is present-day Mexico. It resulted in the U.S. acquiring Florida and defined the southwestern border of the U.S. The treaty strengthened U.S. territorial claims and marked a significant expansion of the nation's territory, contributing to its growth as a continental power.
