The question is about a historical event where the US gained land from Texas to California. The Mexican - American War (1846 - 1848) ended with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, through which Mexico ceded a large territory including present - day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and parts of New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming, and also recognized the annexation of Texas. So the event is the Mexican - American War (or the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, but the war led to the treaty and the land acquisition).
