	Annexationist movements of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At various times, annexationist movements in Canada have campaigned in favour of the annexation of parts or all of Canada by the United States.
		Historical annexationist movements inside Canada were usually inspired by dissatisfaction with Britain's colonial governance of Canada.
		Around 1850 there was a serious annexationist movement on the border region of Quebec's Eastern Townships, where the American-descended majority felt that union with the United States would end their economic isolation and stagnation as well as remove them from the growing threat of French Canadian political domination.

	G.D.: Guerrilla Movements in Greece (June 1948)
		The guerrilla movement at the time of the occupation was created and developed in the period of the imperialist war, aligned itself with one imperialist camp and fought against the other imperialist camp.
		The guerrilla movement is composed in its majority, of peasants, petty bourgeois, with a percentage of “workers.” In the first spontaneous period of the movement, there existed within it a considerable democracy, and the leaders used to be elected from below on the basis of their ability.
		But the chief characteristic of this movement, on the subjective side, are the changes in the mentality of the fighters and their freedom from the old deception and illusions – mainly the nationalistic ones.

	The Militant - 1/12/98 -- Castro Speaks On History Of Cuban Fight Against Spanish Colonialism, U.S. Imperialism
		But the Civil War in the United States and the subsequent abolition of slavery during the Lincoln administration dealt a heavy blow at the annexationist movement of the Cuban slave-holders.
		It is worthwhile recalling that in the face of these wretched and anti-patriotic aspirations of the exploiters, the exploited - that is, the slaves - gave innumerable examples of social and revolutionary struggle as expressed in the many heroic uprisings which were suppressed, as always happens, in the most brutal and bloody manner.
		Once the annexationist trend was eclipsed and the Cuban landowners were themselves convinced that the slave-holding system had to be replaced by other, more modern forms of agricultural and industrial production, there emerged strong demands for a reform of the Spanish colonial system, which had already become an insurmountable obstacle to the country's further development.

		The new movement for a new progressive Puerto Rican national agenda, which came out of the movement around Vieques, is also led by this political tendency.
		The Puerto Rican annexationists (or statehooders as they like to be called) have been rebuffed time and time again when they have proposed formulas which deny Puerto Rican nationality.
		The annexationist forces are attempting to build a consensus in the US within the Democratic Party (most of the annexationist leaders in Puerto Rico identify with the GOP, something which is not the case with the grassroots annexationists) and other US Latin Americans, especially Mexican Americans.

		A great movement against the war is condemning the politics of Bush and his allies, and is opening up spaces for anti-imperialist and revolutionary slogans and positions.
		Banners are blazing throughout the world in solidarity with the heroic armed struggle of national liberation that the Iraqi people are waging, which is striking hard blows at the imperialist occupation; the same is taking place in favour of the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people who are resisting the assault of Israeli Zionism.
		It is a fact that the influence of bourgeois ideology within the workers’ and peoples’ movement is predominant; the social-democratic and reformist currents have led to the taking up, by part of the movement, of pacifist and conciliatory positions.

		The writer is the present leader of an anti-Communist guerrilla group in Sicily and also the sponsor of an annexationist movement which advocates the separation of the Island of Sicily from the Italian Republic and its annexation to the United States.
		The Movement for the Annexation of Sicily to the American Confederation (MASCA) had been growing in one form or another almost from the establishment of the Italian Republic in 1946.
		Despite the decline of the MASCA in particular and the Separatist Movement in general, and the victories of the Christian Democrats, Giuliano was undeterred.

	SHQ Online :: Volume 009 Number 1 :: THE DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS OF ENGLAND AND THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS
		The politicians of the Southern States for the most part favored the annexation of Texas because of the existence of slavery in that region, on account of which the admission of Texas would mean the strengthening of the position of slavery in the United States.
		He was disposed indeed to subordinate everything in his dealings with Texas to his desire to prevent annexation, for it was still quite clear that this would mean war between Mexico and the United States and disaster to Mexico.
		Her interference was never energetic enough to give a rallying-point to the anti-annexationist movement that really existed in Texas while it was strong enough to furnish a powerful argument to the party in Texas and the United States that favored immediate annexation.

	[Infoshop News] Communique from Cuban Anarchists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The Cuban Liberation Movement intends to coordinate and increase anti-authoritarian revolutionary activism, particularly in Cuba, and on the American continent in general, with the objective of constructing a more effective anti-authoritarian movement which actively participates in the real movement of the oppressed both for control of their lives and international counter-cultural resistance.
		The falsification of the history of the workers' movement is continually propagated by the state with the intent of disappearing the importance of anarchist ideals in the development of the anti-establishment struggle of the oppressed.
		At the heart of the international anarchist movement the positions concerning Castro's regime are no longer the same as some anarchist sects of the past that silenced Castro's crimes against our comrades.

		Deere argues that the colonies represented the forefront of a turn-of-the-century movement to annex Cuba to the United States.
		Many assumed that, in a process similar to the annexation of Texas, once a sufficient number of Americans were living in Cuba and the country was Americanized, the newly founded Cuban Republic would petition the U.S. to become a state.
		By 1930 the American colonies were in decline, as was the annexationist movement.

		Despite a strong anti-imperialist movement in the country and an anti-annexationist group in the Senate, the treaty was ratified in the context of the Philippine-American War which broke out in February of 1899.
		Some historians claim that the war (known as the Philippine Insurrection in the States) was initiated to influence the approval of the treaty.
		For instance, the Vietnamese people won, and in the United States during the Vietnam War there was a civil rights movement and an antiwar movement, while during the Philippine-American War, an intense nationalism and jingoism ruled public sentiment.

	The Cretan Question, 1897-1908.
		The Cretans were restless under Turkey; some wanted complete independence; some annexation to Greece (the stronger movement) ; many were at odds with the administration, which they charged with extravagance, inefficiency, and neglect.
		Further annexationist appeals were made to the powers, who, though determined to maintain peace and the status quo (especially Germany and Austria, desirous of humoring Turkey, to advance their interests and hinder those of Russia), and fearing the opening of the Balkan question, still felt that that question must be solved.
		The unpopularity of Prince George was due to the fact (1) that his repeated attempts (1900-1904) failed to influence powers toward annexation, and (2) that he unwisely seemed to take measures toward perpetuation of the existing arrangement, regarded by Cretans as only temporary.

		Ranger and Hobsbawm’s concept of the "invention of tradition" is a useful tool in understanding this enterprise, as it focuses the analysis upon the function and goals of ceremony rather than on the ceremony itself.
		A final means of slowing the annexationist movement that was pulling the archipelago into the U.S. orbit was the Hawaiian use of British and U.S. rivalries.
		Implicit in the struggle against haole domination was the creation of a nationalist movement of Hawaii’s citizens that sought to reconfigure the discrepancy between haole and kanaka power.

		From my experience with him and his post on this and other forums, he does not appear to be a very inspiring or optimistic figure, which would be required for any movement leader, in order to maintain the drive and fire that keeps the movement alive and driven.

		In the Palestinian context, where civil society is weak and where few expect elections to be regular, fair, or capable of changing governments, terrorist attacks and explicit, ideologically-based rejection of the whole process may make more sense as opposition tactics.
		With annexationists and ultranationalists in command of the government and the military, a self-described "war of choice" was launched to destroy the Palestine Liberation Organization with the hope of thereby sealing the future of the West Bank and Gaza as permanently incorporated within Israel.
		The anti-war movement was fueled mainly by a sense that that the government was using the army to implement a controversial political program which contradicted chances for peace entertained by half the population.
