Question

Select two items that were included in the terms of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo (which ended the Mexican-American War).

Answer 1

Answer: The United States paid Mexico $15 million dollars for land obtained as a result of the end of the war.

The United States gains territory in present-day California, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming.

Explanation:

• Before the conflict began, the Americans offered the Mexicans a much higher figure, which they refused. As Mexico was defeated in the war in peace talks, they accepted value of about $ 18 million. The US government has also agreed to take on the Mexican government's debt to the people who lived in the US-owned territory.

• These territories belonged to America at the end of the war. America allocated the figure mentioned above for these territories and paid the Mexican authorities. The agreement, therefore, gave America a complete area of today's Texas. And the natural boundary between the two countries on the Rio Grande River has also been determined.
