The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo helped to achieve the idea of 'manifest destiny' by:
D. It ended the Mexican American War and ceded land to the United States that extended the US border to the Pacific Ocean.

Explanation:
1. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848, ending the Mexican-American War.
2. As part of the treaty, Mexico ceded a vast amount of land to the United States, including present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
3. This significant territorial acquisition through the treaty fulfilled the belief in manifest destiny, which was the idea that the United States was destined to expand across the North American continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
4. By gaining control of such a large expanse of land, the United States took a major step towards fulfilling its perceived destiny of expanding and dominating the continent from coast to coast.
