Aresult of the treaty of guadalupe hidalgo was that
a) texas gained much of the land controlled by mexico.
b) texas became an independent republic.
c) the united states got control of the mexican cession.
d) the united states gave control of california to mexico.

The correct answer is C) The United States got control of the Mexican Cession.

The Mexican Cession was an enormous territorial gain for the United States and a terrible loss for Mexico. This land that the US received decreased the size of Mexico but roughly 1/3rd. In this cession, the United States gained modern day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, and even parts of Wyoming. This acquisition of land caused issues with the US Congress however, as the extension of slavery into this territory became a hotly debated topic in Congress.

As a result of this treaty,  Texas gained much of the land controlled by Mexico.

Further Explanation:-

This treaty was made for settlement between Mexico and the United States and this treaty was the reason behind the ending of the Mexican-American war. Once the Mexican army suffered heavy defeat from the United States they entered into negotiations to end the war. Under this treaty, United States paid 15 million US dollars to Mexico and the reason behind that was paying off the claims that were made by American citizens against Mexico and that came up to around 5 million US dollars and Texas got the majority of the land under this treaty which was earlier controlled by Mexico.

The Rio Grande was given to the United States as well as ownership of California was given to the United States along a major part of New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and some parts of Arizona. The Mexican people who used to live in these areas were given choice to relocate within Mexican territory or receive citizenship of the United States with full civil rights. The land that the United States gained from this treaty was increased further after Purchase which took place in the year 1853. With this purchase, New Mexico and Southern Arizona became parts of the United States.
