Explanation:

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848) ended the Mexican - American War. As a result of this treaty, Mexico ceded a large amount of territory to the United States, which included California and most of the Southwest region (like present - day Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, etc.).

• Option B: Control of the sugar trade with Cuba was not related to this treaty.
• Option D: The United States acquired the Philippines after the Spanish - American War (1898), not from the 1848 treaty.
• Option E: The right to build the Panama Canal was obtained later, and it was not part of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
