Mexico got affected mostly in terms of economy because if Mexico had kept the land it used to have (including Texas) it would have had around yearly 4.355 trillion more US dollars (Or $4,355,000,000). In fact California makes up to 2.4 Trillion US dollars yearly (Or 2,400,000,000), so basically half of the GDP in Mexico's former territory. So, in conclusion if Mexico had kept their territory and all the company's that are currently there, Mexico would have a GDP of 5.616 Trillion Dollars (Or $5,616,000,000).
