After Mexico's defeat on the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo came into action. The U.S. was recquired to pay 15 million dollars as compensation for damages, while taking ownership of the territories of California, half of New Mexico, most of Arizona, Nevada, Utah and parts of Wyoming and Colorado.
Mexicans that were settled in these territories, had the choice to relocate within the new limits of their country, or stay and receive American citizenship with full civil rights. This had quite big implications in U.S. culture as it became more racially diverse. In the following censuses between 1850 and 1920 most annexed mexicans were counted as "white", but in reality, segregation only grew with time and continues to do so until this day, with mexican-native americans being considered foreigners almost universally. At the same time, mexican migration to these areas also continued to rise over the years, making the contrast bigger.
Politically, we can say Mexico wasn't in a bad position in terms of their negotiation power. The U.S. had shown itself hesitant to annex Mexico's territories and having deep domestic divisions in regards to the aims and justification for the expansion. However, the military power of the U.S. overshadowed all of that and their victory was definite. The treaty established a pattern of political inequality between the two countries, and this lopsided relationship has stalked Mexican-U.S. relations ever since.

The Harlem Renaissance started in the late 1910s and went through the 1930s. Its causes are all localized in the many transformations America was going through the 1920s.
The age of anxiety was characterized by growing fundamentalism, blatant racism with the rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan and the mob attacks on black veterans of World War I known as the Red Summer, nativism, hatred of immigrants, hatred of non-Catholics, anti-communism that is known as the First Red Scare caused by the October Revolution (1917) in Russia, hatred for anything that looked like leftism and defense of worker's rights.
Many of these things were caused by and/or impacted by growing industrialization, consumer culture, government's encouragement of business. It was during this time that the Great Migration started: the event when millions of African Americans migrated towards the North to cities like New York, Detroit, Chicago, and Philadelphia.
All this together created a scenario of growing mass culture that generated more space, opportunities, and the need for black people to finally express themselves in art. It was in the works of the Harlem Renaissance that black authors defied racism and the lynchings they were suffering in the sphere of popular culture.
