Brazil Squadron
The Brazil Squadron, the Brazil Station, or the South Atlantic Squadron was an overseas military station established by the United States in 1826 to protect American commerce in the South Atlantic during a war between Brazil and Argentina. When the Cisplatine War between Argentina and Brazil ended, the station remained and continued to protect American interests during several other conflicts. The squadron was also active in suppressing the African slave trade.〔Klafter, Craig E., ''United States Involvement in the Falkland Islands Crisis of 1831-1833'', Journal of the Early Republic, Vol. 4, No. 4 (Winter, 1984), pp. 395-420〕〔Howarth, S. ''To Shining Sea: A History of the United States Navy, 1775-1998'', University of Oklahoma Press, 1999.〕 The South Atlantic Squadron ceased to exist when it was absorbed into the North Atlantic Fleet in 1905.
==Falklands Expedition==
(詳細はexpedition to the Falkland Islands was launched in late 1831 when the sloop-of-war USS ''Lexington'' was sent to Puerto Soledad to investigate the capture and possible armament of two American whalers. When the sailors arrived at the settlement, its Argentine population was found to be suffering from starvation so Commander Silas Duncan evacuated the colonists to the mainland. Because of this the Falklands were left unpopulated and open for British colonization a few years later. Argentina's dispute with the United Kingdom over rights to the islands culminated in the 1982 Falklands War which left the British in control. Exaggerated accounts in opposition of the American expedition claim that the USS ''Lexington'' destroyed the town with naval gunfire, but this never occurred.
