閣下轉貼美國二次獨立戰爭文章,以作支持美國沒有能力侵略加拿大,整個又還是部份呢?
美國二次獨立戰之後都只是確定現在的東部領土而已,美國繼續向西擴張,並從英國人手上搶得本屬 B.C. 省前身的哈德遜灣公司管轄的土地,即今華盛頓與及俄勒岡二州是也。
中部還有一州是英國割讓的,不過我忘記了。

A long history of dispute characterized the ownership of the Oregon Territory, which included present-day Oregon, Washington, Idaho and portions of Montana, Wyoming and British Columbia. Spain and Russia had surrendered their claims to the region, but the United States and Britain were active claimants in the 19th century's early years. The matter's resolution was delayed by the Anglo-American Convention of 1818, in which both parties agreed to a temporary policy of "joint occupation" of the region. This accommodation was extended in 1827.
During the 1830s, the American position came to favor establishment of the northern border along 49º north latitude, arguing that the nation's Manifest Destiny required no less. The British, however, wanted to see the southern boundary of British Columbia established at the Columbia River and based their claims on the Hudson's Bay Company's long history in the area.
The British position weakened in the early 1840s as large numbers of numbers of American settlers poured into the disputed area over the Oregon Trail. Possession of Oregon became an issue in the Election of 1844. Democratic candidate James K. Polk took an extreme view by advocating the placement of the border at 54º 40' north latitude. Expansionists chanted, "Fifty-four Forty or Fight!" After the election, Polk put the British on notice that joint occupation would not be extended, but quietly entered into diplomatic discussions.
In June 1846, the Treaty of Washington was signed between Britain and the United States, the latter represented by Secretary of State James Buchanan. Provisions included:
The United States achieved a favorable resolution on the main boundary issue and the British retained full control of Vancouver Island, a matter of prime importance to them.
One major point of contention resulted from ambiguous wording in the treaty. It was unclear whether San Juan Island, one of the larger Gulf Islands, belonged to Canada or the U.S. Tensions over this issue peaked in 1859 in the so-called Pig War.

我提到美国第二次独立战争的本意不是说美国没有能力侵略加拿大,而是为了反驳“美国这样的超级大国并不想吞并加拿大、墨西哥”的说法,提出美国企图吞并加拿大的证据,还望阁下明察。 详见http://www.rauz.net/bbs/dispbbs.asp?boardid=23&star=2&replyid=13885&id=8466&skin=0&page=1
谢谢你提供的资料,正好从另一方面支持了我的说法。
當時美國只是想佔有北面的英佔土地而已,說是加拿大則誇張了,只是加拿大的東南角而已。
美國向西擴張時,已經迫使英國割出好像是 Idaho 吧?
美國到達太平洋海岸時,想繼續向北侵略,連溫哥華也吃下的。
美國只是開始時沒有能力侵略加拿大而已,其後已經具備能力了。
我觉得我们所说的没有什么互相矛盾的地方,呵呵。
我们都同意美国曾经对加拿大存在领土野心,而且曾经付诸行动。那么在反驳“美国这样的超级大国并不想吞并加拿大、墨西哥”的立场上,我们应该还算一致吧?除非你认为美国只是侵占了加拿大、墨西哥的一部分而不是全部,因此不算“吞并”,因此赞同我所反驳的上述说法。
呵呵,我只是看到美國無力侵略加拿大的字句而已。
美國立國之初,只有十三州,連自保都成問題,關鍵應該是跟法國購得路易士安那之後,領土擴大了一倍,開始有能力擴張,跟英國及西班牙爭雄了。美國對加拿大的領土野心,是西部擴張之後的事情了。
no matter who the hell eventually occupied the Oregon Territory, or whatsoever had happened betweent us and uk over this matter, it did have nothing to do with the indigenous peoples, American Indians of the Pacific Northwest, who derived no any benefit from this and were doomed to lead their life on reservations in the 21st century.

十八世纪末叶以后,英国以殖民地印度为基地,试图将势力向中国西南地区伸展,屡次要求与西藏通商。1888年,英国与西藏发生武力冲突,彼此的关系恶化,终于在1903年,英国以英领印度军队强行通过边境攻入西藏,双方在江孜宗山激战,至今宗山上的抗英炮台仍然存在。江孜失陷后,英军攻入拉萨,达赖十三世流亡到蒙古,班禅被迫和英国缔结“拉萨条约”。达赖十三世由蒙古辗转到北京,但他深知那时的清廷无法依托,于是在宣统元年(1909年)返回拉萨,图谋独立。清廷知道后,派四川总督攻占拉萨,达赖十三世不得不再度由西藏出走,这回他逃往印度寻求英国的保护。
