摘要

本文探讨了美国公民参与加勒比海地区的政治革命如何威胁到美国在该地区的地缘战略和经济利益。1822年,拿破仑战争的老兵亨利·路易斯·维拉姆·德杜古德拉-荷尔斯泰因率领一支革命探险队从大西洋海岸出发,推翻西班牙在波多黎各的统治,建立所谓的博里库亚共和国。然而,在库拉帕拉索的荷兰当局逮捕了探险队的领导人之后,这个共和的乌托邦崩溃了。本文评估了这次远征的地缘政治影响,强调了它如何加剧了美国和西班牙帝国之间的紧张关系。它还突显了美国官员的困境,无论是在华盛顿还是在加勒比地区,他们试图捍卫美国的地缘战略目标和欧盟的海上贸易,即使是在监管美国参与加勒比革命地区非法活动的同时。

“An unlawful and contemptible adventure”: the Ducoudray-Holstein expedition and US foreign policy in the early 1820s Caribbean
ABSTRACT This article explores how the involvement of US citizens in projects of political revolution across the Caribbean threatened the geostrategic and economic interests of the United States in the region. In 1822, a revolutionary expedition led by a veteran of the Napoleonic wars, Henri Louis Villaume de Ducoudray-Holstein, departed from the Atlantic seaboard to overthrow Spanish rule in Puerto Rico and to establish the so-called Republic of Boricua. The republican utopia nonetheless collapsed after Curaçao’s Dutch authorities arrested the expedition’s leaders. This article assesses the expedition’s geopolitical ramifications, highlighting how it exacerbated tensions between the US and the Spanish Empire. It also underscores the predicament of US officials, both in Washington and across the Caribbean, who sought to defend US geostrategic goals and the Union’s maritime trade, even while policing US participation to illicit activities in the Revolutionary Caribbean.
