MIRANDA DOCTOR EN HISTORIA IBEROAMERICANA POR LA PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDADE CATOLICA DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL - BRASIL. PROFESOR ASISTENTE IBMEC BUSINESS SCHOOL - RIO DE JANEIRO- BRASIL, José Augusto Ribas. O Brasil na crise das ilhas Chincha: a atuação diplomática de Francisco de Varnhagen (1864-1866). Relac. int. [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.58, pp.59-80. ISSN 2314-2766.
This paper analyzes Brazilian diplomat Francisco Adolfo de Varnhagen’s performance during the crisis on the Chincha islands, which entailed the confrontations between Spain and Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Bolivia from 1864 to 1866. Varnhagen’s participation shows Brazil’s Foreign Affairs Office’s dubious position within a conflict involving neighboring South American countries and European powers, exemplifying the contradictions of Brazilian foreign policy in the field of diplomatic relations between Europe and America. Varnhagen went against the neutrality provisions set forth by Itamaraty, by sending support notes to the South American neighbors, which caused him to be reprimanded. This paper makes use of the vast number of Brazilian diplomatic documents and offers new perspectives to understand a very significant conflict for the Peruvian, Chilean and Spanish historiographies.
