The Mexican War, also known as the Mexican-American War, was a conflict fought between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848, primarily stemming from a dispute over the annexation of Texas by the U.S., which Mexico still considered its territory; the war resulted in a decisive American victory, leading to Mexico ceding a vast territory to the United States, including what would become the states of California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming, solidifying American control over the land stretching to the Pacific Ocean.
