In 1821, New Mexico was a territory controlled by Spain. It remained under Spanish rule until the Mexican War of Independence, which concluded in 1821. After the war, Mexico gained its independence from Spain, and New Mexico became a Mexican territory until the Mexican-American War in the 1840s when it eventually came under the control of the United States.
