HEGRON, Bastien. A triangular relation: the French perspective about Germans in Mexico (1925-1933). Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2023, vol.44, n.173, pp.92-112.  Epub 25-Ago-2023. ISSN 2448-7554.  https://doi.org/10.24901/rehs.v44i173.951.

In Mexican exterior relationships in the early twentieth century, two types of triangular relations existed: the balance between United States and Europe, and the antagonism between two powers in order to defend their economic and political interests. From the second kind, the French-German case is archetypal, because both were enemies, and they wanted to strengthen their trade and cultural relationships with Mexico. The triangle is interesting to know the presence of the Germans by the sight of the adversary: the French. The French observed the German activities in Mexico with attention, for the danger they represented for French cultural and commercial interests. Between 1925 and 1933, in spite of being a more peaceful time, the opposition between Germans and French remained. Therefore, it is important to consider the motives of competition in diplomatic, cultural and economic areas. It is also relevant to analyse how French perceived the Germans in Mexico, and what this illustrates about the links between Germany and Mexico, through trilateral relations.
