LVOVICH, Daniel. The Great Fear of 1919 on a Global Scale: Argentina's Tragic Week and the North American Archives. Estud. - Cent. Estud. Av., Univ. Nac. Córdoba [online]. 2020, n.43, pp.159-172. ISSN 1852-1568.

Abstract In this article we inscribe the events of the Tragic Week of 1919 in a transnational perspective, considering the ways in which U.S. diplomacy and intelligence services analyzed and interpreted it and linked it to a set of contemporary events and processes. Thus, we articulated the interpretation of Tragic Week as the result of a Great Fear of Argentine and South American elites with a consideration on a larger scale of the ways in which the fear of revolution impacted the behaviors and interpretations of relevant U.S. political actors. We based our study on a set of U.S. diplomatic and intelligence reports that we relied on in the National Archives and Record Administration (NARA) and the U.S. Library of Congress' Woodrow Wilson President's Fund.
