"Why the US lost its d*ck". And to answer your question, there was a formal treaty signed between the US and Mexico to end the war in 1848 so there were negotiations and hence compromises. This was not an outright war of conquest like what was the case with Germany invading the USSR in 1941.

He's talking about Baja California.
The answer is; one is enough. This, anything more than Florida would just be weird.

This was not an outright war of conquest like what was the case with Germany invading the USSR in 1941. that was what i was looking for, thank you. but is still weird how after things calmed down, the country didnt try again to buy it. having a excuse to expand the coastline is something countries are always looking after.
