hitler's invasion of june 1941 provoked support and aid for the soviet union in many countries in latin america, generally organized through voluntary organizations or trade unions. cuba dispatched 40,000 cigars to the red army and in october 1942 became the first latin american country to extend diplomatic recognition to the ussr. the war led to a diplomatic thaw more generally: by 1945, 11 latin american states, including colombia, chile, argentina and the central american republics, had normalized relations with moscow.

uruguay, which had supported the creation of a jewish homeland during the 1920 san remo conference, was one of the first nations to recognize israel, and the first latin american country to do so. it was the first latin american country and fourth country overall in which israel established a diplomatic mission. it was also one of the few nations to support jerusalem as the capital of israel and oppose internationalization of the city. its diplomatic mission in jerusalem was upgraded to the status of an embassy in 1958, but subsequently downgraded to the status of consulate due to arab pressure.
