Abstract

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 Naz 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 thisway, both countries profited from the bilateral negotiations that emergedas far as the war conditions permitted it. This study focuses on the nature of such Mexican-German strategic partnership.
