a.True
b.False

Answer 1

Mexico lost more than half of its territorial landmass in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed in February 1848, was a triumph for American expansion under which Mexico ceded nearly half its land to the United States. The Mexican Cession, as the conquest of land west of the Rio Grande was called, included the current states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and portions of Colorado and Wyoming. Mexico also recognized the Rio Grande as the border with the United States.

In short, Mexico lost more than half of its territorial landmass in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
