• Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, officially known as the Treaty of Peace, Friendship, Limits and Definitive Settlement between the United Mexican States and the United States of America, was signed at the end of the Mexico-United States War by the governments of Mexico and the United States. United on February 2, 1848, and was ratified on May 30, 1848. The treaty established that Mexico would cede more than half of its territory, which comprises all of what are now the states of California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, parts of Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma. In addition, Mexico would relinquish all claims on Texas and the international border would be established on the Rio Grande.As compensation, the United States would pay 15 million dollars for damages to the Mexican territory during the war.
• La Venta de La Mesilla (known as Gadsden Purchase in the United States) is a region of 76 845 km² of present-day southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico that was purchased from Mexico by the United States in a treaty signed by US President Franklin Pierce who signed it on June 24, 1853 and the Mexican ruler Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna who signed it on December 30, 1853 and ratified by the United States Senate on April 25, 1854. The purchase included land south of the Gila River and west of the Rio Grande and was made for the purpose of building a transcontinental railroad along the southern route of the United States. It also solved the pending border problems after the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo that ended the Mexican-American war.
