Keywords: German-Argentine relations, World War I, Neutrality, Economic relations, Political relations

Abstract

Germany and Argentina went through a critical phase in their relations during the First World War. While German economic interests in Argentina had steadily increased before the war, August 1914 marked a break. However, the relationship between the two countries would remain special until 1918 due to Argentina’s neutrality. How did political, economic and cultural relations evolve during the war years? Which actors were important? Why did Argentina remain neutral while many other American countries went to war against the German Reich?
