España y la emergencia del poder americano, 1902-1936

Abstract

The disaster of 1898 marked the difference between Spain and the United States of America in relation to their international destiny: the former, a small State that closed an imperial cicle; latter, a new world power that began to design its imperial policy. After war both States started a slow process to normalize its bilateral relations. A path determined by the inequality between both sides of the Altantic Ocean. Their relations showed: a low profile in their political and diplomatic relations; an increasing economic dependence on the framework of the emergent American Capitalism, and an outstanding fluency in their scientific and cultural relations. Likewise, a reality developed in a scenario, the Latin-american world.
