Description
Summary:This article analyses the strategies unfolded by Museo Social Argentino at the impact of the First World War in Latin America. This private institution, oriented to the public well-being, took the responsibility of promoting a continental solidarity campaign, proposing the need for a Pacific isolation of the Americas and the neutralization of Inter-American marine traffic. In the face of the armed conflict, Museo Social Argentino made an appeal to the different States, intelligentsia and american social institutions to initiate a joint action, enlighten on a period of dim limits where official action overlapped those of private initiatives.
