AUTHOR’S NOTEThe descriptions of the British suspicions in 1892 that the United States was attempting to draw Argentina into the orbit of American influence by an offer of one hundred million dollars is accurate.
Secret reports in the British Foreign Office show that both the French and Uruguayan Ministries were agreed that the Americans had endeavoured to buy a Naval Base either in Argentina or Uruguay.
The golden age of Anglo-Argentine relations lasted from the Boer War 1899 to the Great World Depression in 1928. During these years Britain was Argentina’s best customer and Britain occupied first place as a supplier to the Argentine market.
