Argentina didn't have much of a choice during the cold war. Their options were limited since they were economically dependent on the Western alliance; Peron did not want to take a chance and rupture the relations with the West and in 1947 Argentina joined some other Latin American nations in signing the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance in Rio de Janeiro. This treaty was designed to defend the hemisphere against communism. Nevertheless, Argentina did not sign the treaty until after the Korean War in 1950.(Vacs,14) This gave Argentina some space from the USSR and Argentina began to move towards the United States side and against the Soviet side. Consequently Argentina closed the Slav Union which was a pro Soviet organization. USSR's exports were oil, coal, iron, steel, laminated products, agricultural machinery, and equipment for the oil and railroad industries. Furthermore, the agreement couldn't have been better. They had favorable terms with respect to tariff's and customs duties, fixing prices through agreements, cooperation in balance of trade and the prohibition of re-exporting. (Vacs, 15-16)
