What event marked the end of the Bear Flag Revolt?

The Bear Flag Revolt, which began in June 1846, effectively ended with the arrival of U.S. military forces and the subsequent collapse of the insurgent government in California. The revolt concluded in early July 1846 when U.S. Navy Commodore John D. Sloat raised the American flag in Monterey, asserting U.S. control over California. This action solidified American authority and led to the formal annexation of California following the Mexican-American War.
