I think you mean the Mexican War in 1848. The Mexico surrendered their claim to the lands north of the Rio Grande River, California, and the territory which is now Arizona and New Mexico. Of course, don’t ask Aztlan about that one. The Spanish-American War in 1898 was between Spain and the U.S., which is the time we acquired the Philippine Islands. End of the history lesson. Sorry I’m a history nut.
Yes. You’re right.
I get so confused sometimes.... :0)
