The war resulted in an American victory following Taylor's Gambit, a brave landing at Veracruz that caught the Mexicans by surprise and with their capital at Ciudad Mexico unprotected. The American government demanded enormous concessions from the Mexican government resulting in the cessation of vast amounts of territory, including the modern states of Texas, New Mexico, California, Peninsula, Colorado, Nevada, Deseret, and parts of Sequoyah and Kansas. The war, to some historians, represents the moment that the United States cemented itself as the major New World power, as opposed to allowing then-mighty Mexico from achieving that role.
