Abstract: This article discusses the relationship between Nazi Germany, Spanish Falangism, and the nationalist movements in Latin America during World War ii. The influence of Falangism in Latin America was minimal, despite initial hopes of fostering pro-Axis sentiment due to the rise of anti-fascism in Latin America and strong pan-Americanism promoted by the us. The study shows that for both Nazi Germany and Spain, Latin America was not a primary focus but rather a means to achieve greater geopolitical goals. Ultimately, this connection had little impact on the outcome of the war, but it did damage Spain’s international reputation and weaken Falangist influence.
