Question: 1 / 2010

Which territory was NOT transferred to the U.S. as a result of the Mexican Cession?

Arizona

California

Texas

The Mexican Cession, which occurred following the Mexican-American War, involved the United States acquiring a significant portion of Mexican territory through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. This land included present-day California, Arizona, Nevada, and parts of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming, among others.

Texas, however, was not part of the Mexican Cession. Texas was an independent republic after winning its independence from Mexico in 1836 and was later annexed by the United States in 1845, prior to the Mexican Cession. As a result, Texas was already part of the United States at the time of the treaty and did not transfer to the U.S. as a result of the Mexican Cession.

In contrast, California, Arizona, and Nevada were integral parts of the land acquired through this significant event in U.S. history.
