The war between the United States and Mexico in 1846 to 1848 was basically a struggle for land.
The United States wanted the "frontier". The U.S. felt that it was its right to become a transcontinental country and expand to the
west coast. More land was wanted to accommodate a growing population, and this desired land was also rich in natural resources.
Mexico was on the defensive during the war. Its government claimed that the area that is now California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico,
Wyoming, and Utah had long belonged to Mexico and that American settlers had no right to make their homes there.
When the war ended and the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo had been signed, the United States had gotten its wishes and was substantially
larger geographically. The result of the war was that for the first time, the United States encompassed the entire continent from
sea to sea.
