The Tampico Affair started off as a minor incident involving U.S. sailors and Mexican land forces loyal to General Victoriano Huerta during the guerra de las facciones phase of the Mexican Revolution. The misunderstanding occurred on April 9, 1914, but would fully transpire into the breakdown of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the occupation of the port city of Veracruz for over six months.

  • The Tampico Affair started off as a minor incident involving U.S. sailors and Mexican land forces loyal to General Victoriano Huerta during the guerra de las facciones phase of the Mexican Revolution. The misunderstanding occurred on April 9, 1914, but would fully transpire into the breakdown of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the occupation of the port city of Veracruz for over six months. In midst of the Mexican Revolution, de facto head of state Victoriano Huerta struggled to hold his power and territory intact from the challenges of Emiliano Zapata in the south and the fast advance of the opposition Constitutionalists of Venustiano Carranza in the north. By March 26, 1914, Carranza's forces were ten miles (15 km) from the prosperous oil town of Tampico, Tamaulipas. There was a considerable concentration of U.S. citizens in the area due to the immense investment of American firms in the local oil industry. Several American warships commanded by Rear Admiral Henry T. Mayo settled in the area with the expectation of protecting American citizens and property. As Tampico was laid siege by Constitutionalist forces, relations between U.S. forces and Huerta's federal garrison remained amicable. The American flagship, USS Dolphin, reduced to a modest gunboat due to the operational demands of a shallow entrance to the harbour, presented a 21-gun salute to the Mexican flag three times on April 2, 1914 to pay tribute to the celebrated capture of Puebla in 1867.
  • タンピコ事件(スペイン語: Incidente de Tampico、英語: Tampico Affair)は、メキシコ革命時の1914年4月9日に、タマウリパス州タンピコでビクトリアーノ・ウエルタ将軍に忠誠を誓うメキシコ軍兵士によって、アメリカ軍の水兵が拘束された事件。この事件によりアメリカ、メキシコ両国間の関係はこじれ、アメリカ軍による半年以上のベラクルス占領へとつながった。 メキシコ革命の最盛期、事実上の国家元首であったビクトリアーノ・ウエルタは、その支配を確立するため、南部を支配するエミリアーノ・サパタおよび北部で護憲軍を率いるベヌスティアーノ・カランサとの闘争を続けていた。1914年3月26日までにカランサの護憲軍はタンピコから15kmの地点まで進出していた。タンピコは当時、アメリカの企業による巨額の投資で製油業が盛んであり、アメリカ市民が集中して在住していた。ヘンリー・T・メイヨー少将率いるアメリカ艦隊はアメリカ国民とその資産を保護するため同地域に展開していた。 タンピコは護憲軍によって包囲状態にあったが、アメリカ軍と、ウエルタの連邦守備隊との関係は穏やかなままにあった。アメリカ艦隊の旗艦ドルフィン (USS Dolphin, PG-24) は、水深の浅い湾での活動のために改修が行われていた。ドルフィンは1914年4月2日に、1867年のプエブラ占領を記念してメキシコ軍に対して21発の祝砲を3度行った。
  • Het Tampico-incident was een voorval tijdens de Mexicaanse Revolutie. Het incident vond plaats in de havenstad Tampico op 9 april 1914. Deze stad werd belegerd door het Constitutionalistische Leger waardoor de situatie gespannen was. Amerikaanse soldaten die vaten olie aan het inladen waren werden aangehouden door Mexicaanse troepen, die meenden dat het om constitutionalisten ging. Daar geen van de soldaten de taal van de ander sprak, liep dit misverstand uit op een vechtpartij. Nadat de Mexicaanse dictator Victoriano Huerta weigerde formeel zijn excuses aan te bieden gingen de Amerikanen over tot de bezetting van Veracruz.
