The Mexican Cession was the result of a war caused by the
Americans attempting to gain Mexico's land. The Treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo marked the peace. It was in 1848 that the United States
gained 500,000 square miles, increasing the size of the U.S by 25%. The Senate ratified the treaty in March of 1848. The states of
California, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, most of Arizona
were formed from this land. 91011
