Recommended: Process of negotiations in international relations

Border disputes have been extremely common over the past one thousand years. One dispute in particular was in 1819, called the Adams-Onís Treaty, and was between the United States (US) and the Spanish country borders. One other border dispute, happened recently in 2000, called The Treaty of Jeddah, 2000. Despite the two hundred year gap between these treaties, they have similarities within them. This is just a taste of the border disputes that have happened in the past. The Adams-Onís Treaty was signed in February 1819 by John Quincy Adams and Don Luis de Onís, hence the name, Adams-Onís Treaty. The treaty stated that Florida belonged to the United States, and that there was a border between Spanish and US territory. That border was along the Gulf of Mexico. Then, the US realized that Texas was on the Spanish side, and both countries agreed to allow the US to acquire the land. “By the terms of this boundary, the United States agreed that Texas was on the Spanish side of the line, and Spain agreed to give up its claim…” (Blodgett, 1). The US had approved the treaty in 1819, but the...

  • Going To War To Mexico Dbq Analysis

    507 Words  | 2 Pages

    After Texas’s annexation to the U.S., Texas thought that their troubles with Mexico would be over. Texas thought wrong. Shortly after Texas joined the U.S., the Mexican American War broke out. The war was fought over where Texas’s borders were. Mexico claimed that the borders were at the Nueces River, while the U.S. said that the border line was at the Rio Grande. From 1846 to 1848, the two nations fought over the area between the two rivers, with the U.S. victorious. They signed the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, which marked the Rio Grande as the official borderline between the two countries, and in addition, also got new territory from Mexico known as the Mexican Cession. But did the U.S. deserve all of the land it got from Mexico? Did they have the right to go to war with Mexico? The U.S. was able to justify going to war with Mexico because of these reasons: their manifest destiny and the slaughter of American soldiers on American soil.

  • Monroe Doctrine

    Great Britain refused to let the Spanish take back their now independent colonies. As free countries the new Spanish-American nations could trade more goods with Great Britain. However, if Spain regains control of their former colonies then trade with Great Britain would decrease drastically ("Monroe Doctrine" 617). The Russian Tsar attempted to extend his interest of expansion in North America. In 1821 Russia had claims on the North Western coast of the North American continent as low as the 51st parallel, deep into the Oregon Territory (Migill 595). On September 14th of the same year Tsar Alexander I issued an Imperial Ukase (decree), saying that no foreign vessels could come within 100 Italian miles of Russian territory. Although the decree was never enforced, John Quincy Adams, the Secretary of State at the time, strongly opposed it. Adams felt that many regions of North America were still unexplored such as Alaska and North Western Canada.

    The history of the US borders and border security agencies started after the American Revolution war 1783. After the war, the US established partial borders, but not all of the boundaries we know today.

    The Treaty of Waitangi is a very important document to New Zealand. It is an agreement that was drawn up by representatives of the British Crown and Maori Hapu and Iwi. It was first signed at the Bay of Islands on February 6th, 1840. There has been a lot of debate over the years about the translation of words between the English and Te Reo Maori versions of the text and the differences in the word meaning over the who languages. In this assignment I am going to cover the rights and responsibilities that the treaty contains and an explanation of the differences in wordings and I am also going to contextualise my understanding of the differences of wording against the Maori Worldview and the Declaration of Independence.
