Years: 1805 - 1805
James Wilkinson and Aaron Burr, expecting war to break out between the United States and Spain over boundary disputes, plan an invasion of Mexico in order to establish an independent government there.
Possibly—the record is unclear—they also discuss a plan to foment a secessionist movement in the West and, joining it to Mexico, to found an empire on the Napoleonic model.
