The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) marked the first U.S. armed conflict chiefly fought on foreign soil.

A border skirmish along the Rio Grande started off the fighting and was followed by a series of U.S. victories. When the dust cleared, Mexico had lost about one-third of its territory, including nearly all of present-day California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.
