Abstract

The article aims to systematize the set of relationships among F. Franco and Rafael L. Trujillo, from Spanish and Dominican archives. Such relationships developed about the theoretical links related to the past, and those which they agreed as a foreign action of both states. It shows that the commitments reached between both dictators had the aim to obtain political legitimating and they are related to their defensive interests and remaining in power in the context of the Cold War.
