Explanation:

The war between Mexico and the United States of America, also known as the First American Intervention in Mexico, which took place between 1846 and 1848, had as a consequence for Mexico the loss of approximately 2,378,540 square km of territory, and for the United States the annex of these lands.

Since the colonial era, the United States' claimed to acquire Alta California, New Mexico and Texas, was evident by sending various representatives of the US government to negotiate the borders with New Spain, in addition to trying to buy the territories before mentioned.
