The empirical evidence on which we based our study is particularly the unpublished documentation of Diplomatic and Consular Series, found in Argentine Foreign Affairs Ministry Archive.

This article studies the influence of the United States in Colombian agricultural policy in the 1930s. In that decade, diplomats and businessmen from the United States actively participated in the legislative initiatives that were being developed in Colombia, with the objective of protecting their direct interests, stopping the expansion of communism, promoting new business opportunities, and expanding the commercial networks which existed in the country. Despite their influence, representatives from the United States did not always oppose attempts to enact agrarian reforms and, occasionally, were unable to stop initiatives that were con-trary to their interests.

An interpersonal analysis of a historical fact that reveals the diplomatic «tense relationship" between France and Spain, joined by the Family agreement of 1743 and that was decisive for the diplomatic strategies accomplished by both of them during the negotiations of the Peace of Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle), which came to an end with the War of the Austrian Succession.
