A participação do goberno Getúlio Vargas (1951-1954) Na deposição de Jacobo Arbenz e o fim da aliança estratégica entre Brasil e Estados Unidos

Abstract

This paper focuses on the role played by the presidency of Getúlio Vargas (1951-1954) on the deliberate political isolation of Guatemala in international organizations such as the Organization of American Estates (OAS) and ONU ́s security council, achieved through diplomatical maneuvers orchestrated in close cooperation with the American government. The article sustains that brazilian foreign politics at the time were influenced primarily by a strategic relationship with the United States; by a fierce anti- communism prejudice of the brazilian authorities and by the legal tradition of the brazilian diplomacy that sought to strengthen OAS as a means to protect the hemisphere against peronism, the communist ideology and thus the USSR.
