Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ends Mexican-American War, cedes territories to the United States.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo marked the end of the Mexican-American War, solidifying the United States as a dominant force in North America. Signed in 1848, the treaty resulted in Mexico ceding a significant amount of territory to the U.S., including present-day California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming. This acquisition of land reshaped the map of North America and paved the way for westward expansion, ultimately shaping the future of the United States. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo remains a pivotal moment in American history, with lasting impacts on territorial boundaries and cultural diversity. #TreatyofGuadalupeHidalgo #MexicanAmericanWar #TerritorialExpansion
