Existing studies of the relations between Spain and Latin America during Spain's Second Republic and Civil War (1931-1939) barely touch upon Peru. Certain aspects that until now have received no attention are analyzed in this essay, which is based on primary sources from Spanish and Peruvian archives. In the first place, the author looks at the behaviour of Spanish diplomatic and consular agents, revealing their initial loyalty to the Republic and their very early adhesion to Franco. Secondly, important individuals among the more significant members of the Spanish colony in Peru also joined the nationalist cause. Finally, in addition to ideological and political factors, this article shows the intense rivalry for power and influence which developed between the chief of the diplomatic mission, and the most powerful men in the Spanish colony. This personal rivalry triggered a series of struggles for political and personal loyalties and effected the working of Francoist diplomacy in Peru.
