Question

Because there were conflicts with American Indian tribes in the region, the Spanish decided to move Mission La Bahia from the coast to along the Guadalupe River.

a) True
b) False

Answer 1

False. Mexico lost more than half of its territorial land mass as a result of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed in 1848, ended the Mexican-American War and resulted in Mexico ceding approximately half of its territory to the United States. This included the present-day states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma. So, Mexico lost more than half of its territorial land mass as a result of the treaty.
