Records of the Department of State Relating to Political Relations between the United States and Paraguay, 1945-1959
1945-1959 was a period of change and turbulence in the Republic of Paraguay (República del Paraguay). Covering primarily the early Cold War documents, this collection gives researchers a unique insight into American foreign policy during one of its most stressful periods in international relations. After World War II, with only two superpowers vying for influence, access, and control, the United States looked to its state department to provide detailed analyses and insight into political affairs. As such these records are bound to be of great interest to diplomatic historians and historians studying these countries, seeking to understand American foreign affairs during this period.
