    发动「最不义战争」 美逼墨国「廉让」领土
    (明报) 04月 15日 星期二 05:05AM
    【明报专讯】美国 前总统格兰特(Ulysses Grant)曾表示,美国吞并加州「是一场强国向弱国所发动的最不义战争之一」,其後美国爆发南北内战正是「天谴」。


    美非法移民涌得克萨斯雀巢鸠占

    1821年墨西哥脱离西班牙 独立,从西班牙手上继承了加利福尼亚、新墨西哥及得克萨斯等地。惟因独立战争元气大伤,墨国政府对这些北部领土的管治,确感鞭长莫及。为充实得克萨斯的人 口,墨国政府批准数百美国家庭移居当地,岂料因无力严控边境,结果竟有千计美国非法入境者涌入,顿令得克萨斯变成英语殖民者占多数的地区,走上分裂之路, 於1836年单方面宣布独立,还希望并入美国。

    比美国早40年(1829年)废除奴隶制的墨西哥,视此为「明偷暗抢」,警告美国若吞并得克萨斯就等同宣战,又对奉行扩张主义的美国政府提出3000万美 元 「购买」加利福尼亚和新墨西哥,一口拒绝。但美国最後仍在1846年招纳得克萨斯,引发墨美战争。起初战场主要在得克萨斯附近,及至1846年6月,约 30美国殖民者突在加利福尼亚「起义」宣布「独立」,美军趁机攻占加利福尼亚,逼墨国签城下之盟,割让四成领土,包括加利福尼亚、新墨西哥及得克萨斯等, 美国则象徵式付1500万美元「收购」费。
