The Battle of Antón Lizardo was a naval engagement of the Mexican civil war between liberals and conservative governments, (the Reform War), which took place off the Gulf Coast town of Antón Lizardo, Mexico in 1860. A Mexican Navy officer, Rear Admiral Tomás M. Marín, mutinied and escaped to Havana, Cuba. There he formed a squadron of armed vessels to attack merchant ships and blockade Veracruz. The liberal Mexican Government of Benito Juárez declared Marín a pirate and permitted foreign navies to attack his ships. Juárez's government was supported by the United States and its navy already had several vessels patrolling in the Gulf of Mexico.

  • Het Antón Lizardo-incident was een schermutseling tussen de Verenigde Staten en Spanje tijdens de Hervormingsoorlog, een burgeroorlog tussen conservatieven en liberalen in Mexico. De conservatieve generaal Miguel Miramón belegerde de liberale hoofdstad Vera Cruz. Om deze stad in te nemen, zocht hij hulp bij de Spanjaarden. Dezen stuurden vanuit Cuba twee schepen om de conservatieven te helpen. Op verzoek van de liberalen stuurde de Amerikaanse regering de USS Saratoga. Er vond voor Kaap Antón Lizardo een kort gevecht plaats, waarna de Spanjaarden afdropen. Dit incident maakte duidelijk dat de Amerikanen de liberalen steunden in de burgeroorlog, en geen Spaanse inmenging op het Amerikaanse continent dulden. (nl)
