what was one problem mexican citizens faced after the war?
○ they were forced to leave immediately
○ they faced discrimination and loss of land
○ they controlled the new territories
○ they gained political power

Explanation:

After the Mexican - American War, Mexican citizens in the newly acquired territories (by the US) often faced discrimination from the new dominant group (Americans) and also had issues with loss of land. The option "They were forced to leave immediately" is incorrect as there was no mass immediate expulsion. "They controlled the new territories" is wrong because the US took control of the territories. "They gained political power" is also incorrect as they were a minority in the new political setups and did not gain political power; in fact, they faced political marginalization along with discrimination and land loss.

Answer:

B. They faced discrimination and loss of land
