مؤتمر كاراكاس و أثره على العلاقات الامريكية-المكسيكية 1954-1957

Abstract EN

Mexico refused to vote on the US resolution to condemning communism at the Caracas Conference in 1954.

this refusal led to the escalation of American pressure on the Mexican government, which in turn did not put in place any anti-communist legislation or a program that excluded the communist from Mexican lands, and thus it became a place for the communists excluded from Latin American countries.

This raised US fears of a Communist infiltration into the Mexican political system at a time when the United States was keen to win political regimes by its side, even if they were undemocratic, especially with the most important country with which it shares land and sea borders.

Mexico realized that anti-communism was the standard by which the United States of America measured the loyalty of its allies, and it also realized that the US strategy against communist expansion in Latin America might force it to intervene in Mexico, which led to the Mexican government's surrender to US pressure, especially after the US intervention in Guatemala in 1954, when Mexico declared its solidarity with the United States against communism.
