Abstract

O autor reconstitui a criação do estado brasileiro do Acre, ressaltando os interesses estrangeiros subjacentes à disputa com a Bolívia. O protocolo pelo qual a Bolívia arrendava o território ao Bolivian Syndicate e a disposição de Rio Branco em reivindicar aquela região para o Brasil colocavam os dois países em rota de colisão. Nesse contexto surge a figura dúbia do Barão de Rothschild que propõe uma solução pacífica para o dissídio através do arbitramento da Grã Bretanha.The author reconstructs the history of the Brazilian state of Acre, emphasizing foreign interests which were underneath the quarrel between Brazil and Bolivia. Tension increased in the region because, on the one hand, Bolivia rented the land to the Bolivian Syndicate, an anglo-american company, and on the other hand, the Brazilian Foreign Affairs Minister, Rio Branco, decided to claim sovereignty over the territory. The ambivalent Rothschild comes up in this setting, defending a peaceful solution through the arbitration of Great Britain.
