During the Second World War and the Korean War, Uruguay saw economic prosperity supplying beef, wool, and leather to the Allies. Juan José de Amézaga Landaroso, President from 1943-1947, led his country through the closing years of the Second World War. Amézaga was succeeded by Tomás Berreta Gandolfo, who died in office just five months into his tenure, and was succeeded by his Vice President, Luis Conrado Batlle y Berres, who would serve as President from 1947-1951, and again from 1955-1956. The documents found in these files are predominantly instructions to – and despatches from – U.S. diplomatic and consular officials, often accompanied by enclosures, addressing the political affairs and concerns affecting Uruguay.
