Question

Name two reasons the nazis chose south america and specifically argentina to hide out

Answer 1

Answer:

Historical ties and official cooperation

Explanation:

Argentina took in many Nazi war criminals and members of the Nazi party after World War II in part because of the strong presence of German immigration in the South American country. Argentina had received many Germans in the decades prior to the war which helped the country stay close to Germany.

Argentina was also a neutral country during WWII and therefore had an impartial stance toward the warring parties, at least official. In reality, the Argentine government collaborated secretly with the Germans to help escapees leave Europe safely and reach safe haven in the Americas.
