Guerra y Paz en el Chaco Boreal: Ideas y propuestas de la Revista Comercial Iberoamericana Mercurio de Barcelona

Abstract

The loss of the last Spanish colonies, produced in 1898, led the Catalan intellectuals to organize a new political, commercial and cultural with Latin Iberian entrepreneurs. With this goal was established in Barcelona in 1901 the Revista Comercial Iberoamericana Mercurio, published in which there was a particular flow of ideas and proposals among its directors and the authors in connection with the fighting erupted between Paraguay and Bolivia in 1932, called the Chaco War. The Catalan magazine was closed years later, in 1938, during the Spanish Civil War.
