The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the U.S.-Mexican War and resulted in Mexico losing a significant amount of territory, including present-day California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming. This loss of territory had long-lasting impacts on Mexico's economy, politics, and national identity. It also led to tensions between the United States and Mexico for many years to come. Additionally, the war and its aftermath contributed to political instability in Mexico and exacerbated existing social and economic inequalities within the country.
