The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed in 1848, ended the Mexican-American War and resulted in the United States acquiring a vast territory. This land included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and parts of Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The treaty significantly expanded U.S. territory and set the stage for future westward expansion. In total, the U.S. gained approximately 525,000 square miles of land.
