Abstract

With the start of the Spanish civil war various war fronts opened fronts opened in the world that went beyond those in the homeland. Many of these fronts were stronger than weapons, and changing or amending legislation of a country was a very complicated task. This paper aims to show the struggle of the Spanish ambassador in Washington to obtain the repeal of the United States Neutrality Act that prevented the purchase of arms for the Republican government. This is don examining many Spanish and American sources, that provide an overview of the conflict from the perspectives of Ambassador De los Rios and the Roosevelt administration.
