From 1846 to 1848 the United States fought a war with Mexico. North Americans now know the conflict as the Mexican War, or the Mexican-American War. As a result of the war, the United States took over the land that later became New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, California, Texas, and western Colorado.
During the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), both America and Mexico fought for control of Texas. When that war ended, (by agreement) the fast-growing U. S. took possession of Texas, and what is now California, Utah, most of Arizona, smaller parts of New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming, and of course, Nevada. Brigham Young brought his Mormon flock into Utah, and many settled in neighboring Nevada.
