Mexico Lost Half It's Territory…Here’s How 

In this video, we explore the dramatic and complex history behind how Mexico lost 55% of its original land to the United States. The story begins with the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), a conflict driven by territorial expansion and political tensions. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed in 1848, marked the end of the war but had profound consequences for Mexico. Under the terms of the treaty, Mexico ceded vast territories, including present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming, to the United States. This loss not only reshaped the map of North America but also left a lasting impact on the cultural and political landscape of both nations.
