It once stretched over a far greater area and included six modern U.S. states, including the vast forests, mountains and deserts of California. To understand how Mexico occupied the West Coast of North America, we need to understand the geography of the continent. The Atlantic coastline of what is now the United States was colonized by Britain and seemed to offer little other than farmland.
