How did Mexico lose Texas & California & why?

Question

please and thank you

Answer 1

It was when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed which was a peace treaty that ended the Mexican-American War (1846–1848). It had the info for what they called the Mexican Cession, in which Mexico ceded 1.36 million km² (525,000 sq miles) to the US in exchange for US$15 million (from then...) and the ensured safety of pre-existing rights of Mexican citizens in the transferred territories, which they basicaly did NOT honor (and to the day!).The United States also agreed to take over $3.25 million ($68 million in 2006 dollars) in debts Mexico owed to American citizens.

Answer 2

As far I know the President (from Mexico) back then, sold the land to USA. But he kept the money for him (as usual there) lol.

Answer 3

they got their butts kicked in Texas cos their General was a bit too keen on women and a bit too confident of his armies abilities......

Answer 4

Because Mexican president Santa Anna sells to USA those states, but before that was a war called guerra del alamo, and that war was the beginning of all

Answer 5

Because the Americans stole it.
