ABC countries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the Caribbean islands, see ABC islands
ABC countries is a term sometimes used to describe the South American countries of Argentina, Brazil and Chile, which are seen as three of the most powerful and wealthiest countries in South America.
The ABC Pact takes its name from the three signatories — Argentina, Brazil and Chile — to an agreement on 15 May 1915 designed to foment outer cooperation, nonaggression and arbitration. It was formulated to resist American influence in the region and to establish a balance and mechanisms for consultation between the three signatory countries. The official name was the Consultation, Non-Aggression and Arbitration Pact. Although the treaty does not enter use until it is ratified by Brazil, a great degree of the foreign policy of the three signatories between 1915 to 1930 followed the basis of consultations and mutual initiative which the ABC Pact envisaged. To this end, the name "ABC Pact" is used on by the press when the signatory countries co-operate to pursue integration initiatives in South America, conclude official agreements or actions regarding foreign policy, or promote ideologically and politically similar organisations within the region.
