The correct answer is C.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed on February 2, 1848.

This Treaty ended the Mexican - American War in favor of the United States.

The war began two years earlier over a territorial dispute involving Texas.

As part of the Treaty, the United States gained additional territory, including the land of present-day Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.

Mexico gave up its claims to Texas and recognized the Rio Grande as America's southern boundary.
