瓜達盧佩伊達戈條約 (Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo) 在墨西哥市正式簽署:184822 

 「在美利堅合眾國與墨西哥共和國之間、他們各自的國家之間,領土之間、城市之間、鄉鎮之間,以及人民之家應該要有堅定且永遠的和平,沒有例外的地方或人民。」-- 瓜達盧佩伊達戈條約,1848年。

你知道美國西部有一大部分的土地本來都是屬於墨西哥的嗎?在1848年的22日,美國與墨西哥官員在墨西哥市開會,簽署了瓜達盧佩伊達戈條約。這項協定使征戰近兩年的墨西哥戰爭得以結束,並且讓美國增加了525000平方英里原屬於墨西哥的領土,使美國西部的領土能夠擴展到太平洋沿岸。美國新的領土範圍包括了現在的亞利桑納、加州、科羅拉多西部、內華達、新墨西哥、德州,以及猶他州。這項條約與1853年的哥斯登購買案,讓美國的領土擴增為48個州。你知道是什麼事情促成了這項條約的簽署呢?


"There shall be firm and universal peace between the United States of America and the Mexican Republic, and between their respective Countries, territories, cities, towns and people, without exception of places or persons." -- Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, 1848

Did you know that a large portion of the Western United States used to be a part of Mexico? On February 2, 1848, U.S. and Mexican officials met in Mexico City to sign the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The agreement brought an end to the Mexican War after nearly two years and extended the U.S. west to the Pacific Ocean with 525,000 square miles of former Mexican territory. The new American territory included present-day Arizona, California, western Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Utah. Along with the 1853 Gadsden Purchase, this treaty completed the expansion of the United States to 48 states. Do you know what events led to the signing of the treaty?
