Summary
During World War I, Latin American port cities emerged as pivotal hubs for socioeconomic and cultural transformations, particularly evident in the Southern Cone. Valparaíso, Buenos Aires, and Río de Janeiro became focal points where global disruptions reshaped local dynamics, fostering a newfound Latin American identity within the international system. This study reveals that these cities, despite their shared experiences, exhibited distinct responses influenced by their Atlantic or Pacific positioning. Analyzing historical press, it demonstrates how economic upheavals and social shifts during the war fueled a more assertive Latin American perspective, challenging traditional dependencies on Europe.
