As a result of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), the United States acquired a significant portion of Mexico's territory through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, and Texas. The U.S. paid Mexico $15 million and assumed certain claims of American citizens against Mexico as part of the agreement. This expansion significantly shaped the future boundaries of the United States.
