| dc.description.abstract | This article presents many factors which help to explain Chilean skepticism toward US Antarctic science in the 1940s and 1950s. Throughout this period Washington insisted that its only objectives were peaceful scientific cooperation and the harmonious resolution of the sovereignty dispute between Britain and the Southern Cone nations, Chile and Argentine. Chileans remained concerned that these objectives sought to conceal another: the militarization of the frozen continent. Cartoons from Revista Topaze, a mainstream publication, are featured to accentuate chilean´ reticence toward the United States while the text enlists a variety of primary and secondary sources pertaining to the early Cold War period. The Objective is to contextualize why Chileans within and outside the government feared that US Antarctic science might not remain peaceful in nature, as well as to highlight the significance of the Chilean Escudero Plan. | es_ES |
