Vlastimil Kybal and Lázaro Cárdenas. A Special Episode of the Czech-Mexican Relations

Abstrakt

The chapter focuses on the personal relations between Czechoslovak minister in Mexico Vlastimil Kybal and Mexican president Lázaro Cárdenas. The text proves that friendly personal ties can affect in a positive way the relations between two countries.

That is why we can call the times of Kybal in Mexico (1935-1939) as a golden age of Czechoslovak-Mexican relations in their history. The chapter is approached from the international perspective, i.e., it is based on archive material from both Mexico and Czechoslovakia.
