The First World War represented a radical break in the international relations of the previous era, and 1917 was a decisive turning point in the history of the Great War and more generally in global history.

The subsequent intervention of the United States influenced the Latin American countries. There was a fracture between interventionists and neutralists, particularly between Brazil and Argentina.
