Yes I agree, but Mexico at that time was also a expansionist and colonialist state that inherited its land from the Spanish Empire, and routinely subjugated and suppressed indigenous populations.
Neither Mexico or the US are good in this scenario. The land you gave to Mexico should be independent.
Same with giving Alaska to Russia. Russia has no claim on the land and it should belong to the native population and be independent. Russia has as much of a claim on Alaska as the US has on Hawaii or Puerto Rico.
Alaska was Russian until tsar who like all other tsars was brilliantly competent and sold territory larger than Texas 7 million to USA, Alaska would be SSR when USSR reforms.
Alaska was not Russian. Alaska was colonized by an imperialist power to exploit its natural resources.
Also you cannot claim to say that we are going off modern day Mexico and then immediately say that Alaska should be given to modern day Russia on the off chance the USSR reforms.
You also didn’t answer my question of why shouldn’t the land you gave to Mexico not be independent indigenous territory? Mexico only had that land due to inheriting it from the Spanish Empire, so why should they get it back? Why not make it independent?
