| - The American Summit on Mutual Defense and Foreign Policy (commonly shortened to the Alamo Summit or the San Antonio Summit) was the fourth extraordinary summit of the Conference of American States, held in the city of San Antonio, Brazoria, from the 15th to the 20th of February in 2016. The summit was initially called for by Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador in late 2015, who all felt their national security was threatened by increasingly belligerent remarks from the bordering Mexican Social Republic, and on January 10th, 2016, the Federal Republic of Brazoria endorsed the call by the four Central American states and organized the summit after a review of security measures in place on its own border. Although the stipulations of the Treaty of St. Louis call for a system of common defense among all member states of the organization, the Brazorian government, supported by the four Central American states, argues that a review of this commitment is needed, and that a new, pan-American rapid reaction force must be created in order to better safeguard the more vulnerable members of the Conference. Furthermore, the Brazorian government is pushing for a reformed mutual foreign policy which will unilaterally condemn the Mexican Social Republic, begin arrangements to alleviate refugee pressure from the European migrant crisis, and formulate policies on current world autocracies and conflicts which pose a significant threat to world peace with the development of the Second Cold War. The summit was held in Downtown San Antonio at the Alamo complex, the location of the most famous battle of the Texas Revolution against Mexico. Diplomats from across the Americas arrived through San Antonio International Airport on February 12th and resided in suits at the Grand Hyatt San Antonio for the duration of their stay. Many diplomats were given tours of the Alamo, the San Antonio Riverwalk, Lackland Air Force Base, and Army Camp Bullis. Security at the summit was provided by the Brazorian Rangers, the San Antonio Police, and special regiments from the Brazorian Federal Armed Forces.
