The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed in 1848, ended the Mexican-American War and resulted in the United States acquiring significant territories. America gained present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and portions of Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming. This expansion significantly increased the size of the U.S. and set the stage for further westward expansion. The treaty also established the Rio Grande as the border between Texas and Mexico.
