Detailed explanation-1: -This was known as the Mexican Cession and included present-day Arizona and New Mexico and parts of Utah, Nevada, and Colorado (see Article V of the treaty). Mexico also relinquished all claims to Texas and recognized the Rio Grande as the southern boundary with the United States (see Article V).
Detailed explanation-2: -The treaty effectively halved the size of Mexico and doubled the territory of the United States. This territorial exchange had long-term effects on both nations. The war and treaty extended the United States to the Pacific Ocean, and provided a bounty of ports, minerals, and natural resources for a growing country.
Detailed explanation-3: -Including civilians killed by violence, military deaths from disease and accidental deaths, the Mexican death toll may have reached 25, 000 and the American death toll exceeded 13, 283.
