Abstract

In March 1960, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower briefly visited Montevideo for 16 hours. His arrival was part of a whirlwind tour that this president undertook to South America in response to the strong popularity with which this part of the continent from the march of the Cuban Revolution was observed. In contrast, U.S. policy generated resistance. His qualms covered a broad sector that transcended communist militancy, including college students. This paper, supported with documentation of the Intelligence and Liaison Service (SIE) Montevideo Police, shows the important features of that extensive police operation deployed to mute the strong bias "anti-American" that sought Uruguayan university students during that show remembered visit.
