A History Of Latin America Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Latin America and the War It was at this juncture also that the peculiar relations flowing out of membership in the Pan American family of nations introduced further problems. Several of the South American republics felt that the obligations of Pan American or continental solidarity could be discharged only through the formal severance of re lations with Germany. Finally the war had a reper cussion on the internal life of these countries which directly affected the conduct of their foreign policies. Especially was this true of those nations in which public Opinion had become sufficiently articulate and powerful to influence the actions of the government. The student of Latin American diplomacy of this period cannot therefore afford to ignore the pronouncement of leading writers and public men, the policy of the representative newspapers, and the force of propaganda. The official documents alone, important as these are, in many cases present an incomplete or distorted picture of the attitude of the nation as a whole to the Great war and its issues.
