Apuntes para el estudio de una generación progresista en América Latina, 1934-1954: el caso de los asilos diplomáticos y los exilios políticos

Abstract

Between 1934 and 1954 a group of Latin American presidents governed under a series of reformist precepts that are associated with a kind of nationalism and sovereignty with respect to dependence on the United States. These governments did not achieve American government approval within the framework of the Cold War in Latin America, in a time span that spanned from 1945 to 1954. Their defeat caused the asylum and exile of these former Latin American presidents. Most turned to Mexico. The work of these rulers marked the development of their countries at key moments in their history. That is why it can be considered that it is a generation that ruled under the rise of Nazi fascism in Europe, World War II and the first measures of the Cold War, before which they succumbed.
