Question

Which area on the map shows the territory Mexico ceded to the United States as a result of the Mexican War? A. I B. II C. III D. IV

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. III

The territory shown in territory III is known as the Mexican Cession. This piece of land was given to the United States in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This treaty officially ended the Mexican American War.

This territory includes modern day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, and parts of Wyoming. This treaty negatively impacted Mexico, as they lost nearly 1/3rd of their land to the United States.

Answer 2

3, because Mexico did not want to have to fight America for it. Hope this helped!
