Which of the following best describes the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo? Mexico paid the U.S. two million dollars and gave up California, but it was able to keep Texas. The U.S. paid fifteen million dollars to Mexico in exchange for nearly half a million square miles of land. The U.S. gained access to Mexican seaports and paid Mexico five million dollars, but Mexico kept its territory. Mexico paid eight million dollars to the U.S. and kept the rest of their land, and the U.S. gained all of the territory north of the Rio Grande.

Half a million square miles of land.
I remember that from class.
As a result of the treaty, the United States acquired more than 500,000 square miles of valuable territory and emerged as a world power in the late nineteenth century.
