Best Answer

The whole states of California, Nevada, Utah, as well as parts of New Mexico and Arizona.

Texas was lost during the Texas Revolution (1835-1836). The territories of Texas at the time included present-day Texas, as well as parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming. It was seen as a rebel province (such as present-day Taiwan is seen by China) to be acquired later by peaceful means, but by force if necessary.

At the end of the war Mexico was forced to cease any attempt on reclaiming Texas. This is also known as the Mexican Cession(1848).

Finally, during the Gadsden Purchase (1853), Mexico sold parts of southern Arizona and New Mexico to the United States. This was the only peaceful purchase of land made from Mexico.

The U.S. received present day California, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, half of New Mexico, part of Colorado, and a small portion of Wyoming. The U.S. received this land after the Mexican-American War. The U.S. was formally given the right to this land in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War.
