The Mexican War was justified under the principle of Manifest Destiny, a belief that Americans were destined to expand across North America. The war occurred from 1846 to 1848, triggered by the annexation of Texas and disputes over territory. The resulting Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo led to significant territorial gains for the United States, highlighting the impact of this expansionist ideology.
