LOAEZA, Soledad. The Interventionist Policy of Manuel Ávila Camacho: The Case of Argentina in 1945. Foro int [online]. 2016, vol.56, n.4, pp.851-902. ISSN 0185-013X.

At the end of the World War II, faced with the emergence of a new world order, Mexico reviewed its foreign relations, with the United States in particular. President Manuel Ávila Camacho and his Foreign Minister, Ezequiel Padilla, opted for an ideological and diplomatic alliance with the emergent superpower. This agreement led to Mexico’s support for US policy towards the rest of Latin America, despite its openly interventionist bent, and contradicted the principles of non-intervention and self-determination. As a result, Mexico distanced itself from the Latin America bloc. This policy was abandoned in 1947, but determined the Mexican positions at the Chapultepec Conference, and in the conflict that had set Argentina against the United States since 1943.

Keywords : interventionism; Mexico-Argentina relations; Chapultepec Conference; foreign policy of Ávila Camacho.
