“Hacia las viejas épocas de la doctrina Monroe": Las disquisiciones del embajador Uruguayo en Estados Unidos ante las "delicadas circunstancias" del caso Guatemala (1954)

Abstract

This article presents, contextualizes and discusses significant observations of the Uruguayan ambassador to the United States of America contained in a recently found in the Historical Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uruguay document. The same relates to the "delicate circumstances" surrounding the “Guatemala case” at a time when he was elucidating the immediate future of democracy presiding Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán, over- thrown shortly afterwards thanks to the military coup orchestrated by the CIA.
