Mexico: strategic partner of the Third Reich

Abstract

México, como nación geoestratégica occidental, fue de vital relevancia para el Tercer Reich, como abastecedor inagotable de materias primas en la economía de guerra que aplicó en vísperas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, obtuvo el mayor beneficio posible mediante tratados que favorecieron tanto a Alemania como a México hasta que el contexto que tomó el conflicto bélico lo permitió.Mexico, strategically located in the west hemisphere was key in suplying raw materials to Germany before the start of Second World War. Its political differences with the United States coming from the Oil Expropriation, made Lazaro Cardenas’ government turn to the Nazy Regime as an option for trading. The Third Reich, in turn, set out to take advantage of the abundance of raw materials offered by the Aztec Nation; in this way, both countries profited from the bilateral negotiations that emerged as far as the war conditions permitted it. This study focuses on the nature of such Mexican-German strategic partnership
