Calvo wrote a gutsy doctrine in the mid-1800&#8217;s stating that any foreign resident would be subject to local laws &amp; court procedures. And that diplomatic pressure from the foreign nation would be ignored as well as any attempt at armed force. The <strong>Calvo Doctrine<\/strong> marked the first attempt to define Latin American sovereignty legally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Born in 1859, Drago studied several types of law &amp; was appointed Minister of Foreign Relations by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.recoletacemetery.com\/?p=3053\">President Roca<\/a><\/strong> in 1902. During this period, Europe continued to treat American nations with disregard&#8230; case in point, the 1902 military blockade &amp; shelling of Venezuela by Great Britain, Germany &amp; Italy due to debt default.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Luis Mar\u00eda Drago, Recoleta Cemetery\" src=\"http:\/\/www.recoletacemetery.com\/images\/200804D35.jpg\" alt=\"Luis Mar\u00eda Drago, Recoleta Cemetery\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Drago felt that the situation should have been handled by arbitration &amp; negotiation rather than by force. In a letter to the Argentine ambassador in the United States, he wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The collection of loans by military means implies territorial occupation to make them effective, &amp; territorial occupation signifies the suppression or subordination of the governments of the countries on which it is imposed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Drago Doctrine<\/strong> was seen by many as an extension of the U.S. Monroe Doctrine: America belongs exclusively to the Americans, &amp; Europe should stop interfering in local affairs. The doctrine was debated for several years between its appearance in 1902 &amp; Drago&#8217;s death in 1921 but was never formally accepted. However, his ideas helped guide world foreign policy throughout the early 20th century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Carlos Calvo began, Luis Mar\u00eda Drago\u00a0finished.
