Answer 1

During the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), Mexico lost approximately half of its territory. The conflict resulted in Mexico ceding about 525,000 square miles to the United States through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, which included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and parts of Colorado and New Mexico.
