The correct answer is that in the 1840s, Mexico ceded California to the United States as a part of a peace treaty.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War, forced the Mexican government to cede California to the United States, along with the other Interior Provinces (today's New Mexico), in 1848. That same year gold was discovered in California, more precisely in Coloma, near Sacramento, and many people came to the new US territory to look for gold and try their luck.

zmey [24]

In the Middle East, residents of rural areas have very different lives from those who live in urban areas. The region was originally made up completely of rural communities. However, with 60% of the region's population now living in cities, the Middle East is moving toward a more urban lifestyle. People who live in rural areas make a living by working in agriculture as farmers. City residents are focused on the manufacturing and in the service industries. In rural areas, many people live with their extended families as more people move to the large cities, however, these extended families are beginning to break apart. smaller families are more common in the cities.
