Abstract

PALAMARA, GRAZIANO. Between War and Peace: Latin America and the Tragedy of the First World War. Anu. colomb. hist. soc. cult. [online]. 2015, vol.42, n.2, pp.103-126. ISSN 0120-2456.  https://doi.org/10.15446/achsc.v42n2.53331.

This essay proposes an analysis of the Latin American positions regarding the First World War - WWI; the reflection is based on an interpretive model which considers the global war not only as the point of disintegration of an international system but as the founding moment of a new order. This model reflects on how Latin America approached the decline of the post-Napoleonic order and the conduct that it adopted in 1917, with the entering of the United States into the conflict and the October revolution in Russia which opened a new era in the context of international relations, with some of its characteristics remaining intact at least until the fall of the Berlin wall.

Keywords : First World War; Latin America; constituent war; international relations.
