Answer:

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848, the treaty allowed the United States to purchase Carlifornia, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Utah, and Colorando for fiften million dollars, doublling the size of the United States, but also displacing millions of Mexican citizens in new American territory.
