The end result of the Mexican-American War, which took place between 1846 and 1848, was that the United States won, and as a result, Mexico ceded approximately one-third of its territory to the United States. This included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Texas. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed on February 2, 1848, formally ended the war and Mexico accepted the Rio Grande as the boundary for Texas, thereby relinquishing any claim to Texas.
In compensation for the vast amount of territory transferred to the U.S., the United States paid Mexico $15 million and assumed $3.25 million of debt that the Mexican government owed to U.S. citizens. The result of the Mexican-American War was a significant expansion of the United States territory and marked a key moment in the "Manifest Destiny" era, which was the 19th-century belief that the U.S. was destined to expand across the North American continent.
