El impacto de la doctrina Larreta en la política interna uruguaya: la Argentina peronista en la mira (1945-1946)

This article studies the repercussion of the doctrine of Eduardo Rodriguez Larreta in Uruguayan internal politics. At the end of November 1945, the Uruguayan chancellor sent a document to the Americas’ Foreign Ministries proposing to consider and discuss the possibility of a "multilateral collective action" before regimes of force that violated the rights of man and of the citizen, even though they were not necessarily still a threat to peace. The thesis put into discussion the consecrated principle of non-intervention. The Uruguayan note was rejected by most of the countries of the continent and fought by several local political media. At the beginning of 1946, the administration of Juan Jose de Amezaga modified the central point of the discord - the "multilateral intervention". However, contemporaries opposed to the proposal read it thought in Argentine key, that is to say against the dictatorship of Edelmiro Farrell - Juan Domingo Peron. Finally, breaking the forecasts Peron, continuator of that dictatorship, was elected president in February 1946 and the consequences of the victory were felt in Uruguay.
