The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed in 1848, resulted in the United States acquiring a significant portion of territory from Mexico, including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming. This acquisition totaled approximately 525,000 square miles and effectively ended the Mexican-American War. The treaty also established the Rio Grande as the border between Texas and Mexico.
