Mussolini and Argentina. The Creation of the Regina Alvear Colony (1924) as the First Experience of Fascist Expansion Abroad During the Presidency of Marcelo T. de Alvear

Summary/Abstract: Benito Mussolini's strategy on the international stage had as its initial premise using the Italian diaspora as a geopolitical instrument. In this context, he promoted the creation of the Regina Alvear Colony (1924) in Argentina, the first "artificial" test abroad and a fascist model of planned emigration. Using unpublished documentation from the Italian and Argentine Foreign Ministries, we propose to analyze the motivations and interests linked to the founding of this colony, the reasons for its location in the south of the country, the Italian capitals involved as well as the first initiatives to transform the colony into a fascist enclave.
