Abstract

The aim of this article is to review the polemics arising from the VI International American Conference (Havana, 1928) as a result of the presence of the U.S. military in Nicaragua. Starting with an analysis of the events which derived from said intrusion, we will look at the nature of the Panamerican movement as an instrument of Washington’s diplomacy with the United States’ southern neighbours, as well as the resistance of the latter to U.S. intervention. To do this we will use the commentary made at that time about the aforementioned conference by the Spanish-language Press and intellectuals, especially the Spanish ones.
