[PAR] [TLE] Chamizal dispute [SEP] The Chamizal dispute was a border conflict over about 600 acres on the Mexico–United States border between El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.  It was caused by a shift in the Rio Grande, as a survey presented in 1852 marked differences between the bed of the Rio Grande (in Spanish: "Río Bravo del Norte" ) and the present channel of the river.  The Chamizal was once the only link between El Paso and Ciudad Juárez and tensions over the territory during the historic Taft–Diaz summit almost resulted in the attempted assassination of both presidents on October 16, 1909. [PAR] [TLE] Rio Grande [SEP] The Rio Grande ( or ; Spanish: Río Bravo del Norte , ] or simply Río Bravo) is one of the principal rivers in the southwest United States and northern Mexico (the other being the Colorado River).  The Rio Grande begins in south-central Colorado in the United States and flows to the Gulf of Mexico.  Along the way, it forms part of the Mexico–United States border.  According to the International Boundary and Water Commission, its total length was 1896 mi in the late 1980s, though course shifts occasionally result in length changes.  Depending on how it is measured, the Rio Grande is either the fourth- or fifth-longest river system in North America.
