Adolfo Ruiz Cortines, Justo Bermejo, Lázaro Cárdenas, Jacobo Arbenz, Carlos Castillo Armas, Anti-Communist CrusadeAbstract
In this article we have based ourselves mainly on the reports of the Spanish diplomat Justo Bermejo, unofficial representative of Spain in Mexico, and on those of the Diplomatic Information Office, which are deposited in the fund of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the General Administration Archive located in Alcalá de Henares. Together with them and the consultation of the most modern bibliography, we have wanted to unravel to what extent Mexico, its capital above all, was the center, through essentially the Embassy of the Soviet Union, of the spread of communism to the entire American area, including therefore the United States, and Central and South America. We also wanted to find out to what extent the Mexican president Adolfo Ruiz Cortines actively collaborated in the anti-communist crusade of the United States for the entire world, and especially for this American area, and if as a result of the Guatemalan coup d’état of June 1954 Ruiz Cortines further promoted, or not, this crusade within Mexico itself.
