DESCRIPTION:In the early postwar period\, while United States and Spain mai
 ntained chilly political relations\, they forged economic and military link
 s in the face of the realities of the Cold War. Francisco Franco’s Spain us
 ed and reinforced its anticommunist ideology to advance its foreign relatio
 ns with the United States and obtain economic aid. Amidst the changing inte
 rnational situation\, the question of Basque immigration to the United Stat
 es drew the attention of Franco’s regime. By then\, the sheep industry of t
 he American West demanded Basque immigrant labor. This lecture explores how
  the Francoist regime manipulated Basque immigration issue for its own poli
 tical and economic advantage in the early Cold War era.
