Mexican–American War
The Mexican–American War was fought between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848, following the American annexation of Texas and a border dispute. American forces occupied New Mexico and California and captured Mexico City in 1847. By the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo Mexico ceded about half its territory, including California and much of the American Southwest.
