Expansionary policy of the USA. The boundary between the Hispanic and English-speaking world between the years 1821-1848
Stískal, Jiří ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor)
Tato práce se snažila poukázat na odlišné vztahy k pohraničím oblastem v prostředí USA a Mexika, na vývoj hraniční linie obou států a na omyly a nedůslednosti centrálních orgánů mladého mexického státu, vedoucí k postupnému odcizení a definitivní separaci jeho severního pohraničního území. Na příkladu Texasu bylo demonstrováno stupňování požadavků již tak privilegovaných severoamerických osadníků a vedle toho i nešťastný pokus ústředních mexických orgánů o pacifikaci tohoto procesu vojenskou silou, jenž vedl ke spojení většiny texaského obyvatelstva ve společném odporu. Příklad Nového Mexika a zvláště Kalifornie zase nastínil úspěšnější pokusy ústředních orgánů o pacifikaci separatistického hnutí, jejichž výsledky však zanikly ve víru mexicko - americké války.
