in 1825, arizona was visited by its first non-spanish europeans, english trappers. in 1836, the republic of texas, which contained the easternmost of the southwest united states, won its independence from mexico. in 1845 the republic of texas was annexed by the united states, and immediately became a state, bypassing the usual territory phase. the new state still contained portions of what would eventually become parts of other states. in 1846, the southwest became embroiled in the mexican–american war, partly as a result of the united states' annexation of texas. on august 18, 1846, an american force captured santa fe, new mexico. on december 16 of the same year, american forces captured tucson, arizona, marking the end of hostilities in the southwest united states. when the war ended with the treaty of guadalupe hidalgo on february 2, 1848, the united states gained control of all of present-day california, nevada and utah, as well as the majority of arizona, and parts of new mexico and colorado (the rest of present-day colorado, and most of new mexico had been gained by the united states in their annexation of the republic of texas). the final portion of the southwestern united states came about through the acquisition of the southernmost parts of arizona and new mexico through the gadsden purchase in 1853.
