美國蠶食鯨吞墨西哥

The American Annexation of Mexican Territories

我們先將回顧美國的領土擴張，接著檢視美國如何侵犯西屬德克薩斯，接著觀察美國如何蠶食墨屬德克薩斯，再來嘗試理解美國的盤算，進而分析墨西哥與德克薩斯的衝突、以及美墨戰爭，最後描述美國在戰爭結束後對墨西哥領土的鯨吞。

We shall begin with a brief review of the process of American territorial expansion. We then look into how Spanish Texas was encroached and how Mexican Texas was taken. We further endeavor to understand American calculations. In addition, we examine American-Mexican conflicts and its their escalation into the Mexican–American War. Finally, we scrutinize how the United States annexed Mexican territories after the war.
