In 1846, the US declared war on Mexico in large part to continue its drive for Manifest Destiny - expanding to the Pacific Ocean by conquering California. By 1848, United States military forces had largely conquered much of what is now coastal California, including Los Angeles. The Mexican government had incurred a large debt burden. The US made Mexico an offer it couldnt refuse. Mexico would be relieved of its debt and receive $15 million dollars for California and much of what is the Southwest today (and some other areas), including the current hotbed of anti-Mexican sentiment, Arizona. In the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico also officially ceased contesting Texas as a US state.
