Mexican-American War

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

The Mexican-American War took place between 1846 and 1848 between the United States of America and Mexico. The war resulted from a land dispute.

It ended with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. The treaty gave much land to the United States, land that used to be Mexico's. In return, Mexico received 15 million dollars. Out of this land, the United States carved out many states, including California, Arizona, and Utah.
