Abstract

Emerging within the Argentinean political culture at the same time of Mussolini's ascent to the power in Italy, the Argentinean antifascism experienced a strong development with the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. Even thought the participation of the Communist Party of Argentina (PCA) in favor of the Spanish Second Republic gained great fame in the Argentinean society, this subject has not been studied among the various topics discussed by the historiography referred to the Spanish Civil War. This article seeks to be a first attempt aimed to retrieve and analyze the tasks that supported the Republican cause contained within the antifascist campaign by the PCA. The hypothesis is that the compromise of the PCA with the international juncture was especially intense in terms of the mode of relating with the Communist International which was constructed by the own Argentinean section after a process of losing their relative autonomy ending in the late 1920s.
