Can anyone who speaks Spanish please try and find the Venezuelan declaration of war against Nazi Germany?Wikipedia and other sources claim Venezuela declared war against the Nazis of 15 February 1945, however the source Wikipedia cites doesn't actually seem to mention that date.I'd be interested in something like pic related, the United States declaration of war on Bulgaria, which I found on a U.S. government site,https://www.senate.gov/about/images/documents/hjres319-wwii-bulgaria.htm
OP here again.Did more digging. I think the 'Libro amarillo de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela, 1945' might have it.HathiTrust & Google Books seem to imply that it would be on pages 146 & 147,https://www.google.com/books/edition/El_libro_amarillo_de_los_Estados_Unidos/ruaYTLtqwtAC?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=%22Declaraci%C3%B3n%20de%20Beligerancia%20de%20Venezuela%20contra%20Alemania%22https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.d0000977249&q1=Declaraci%C3%B3n+de+Beligerancia+de+Venezuela+contra+Alemania&start=1https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=ufl.31262075019959&q1=Declaraci%C3%B3n+de+Beligerancia+de+Venezuela+contra+Alemania&start=1The Center for Research Libraries has it available digitally, but for members only,https://digitalcollections.crl.edu/search?ln=en&p=oclc%3A1099682155&f=&rm=&sf=&so=d&rg=25&c=CRL%20Digital%20Collections&of=hb&fti=1&fct__4-range=1945%2C1945&fti=1If anyone's a member of the Center for Research Libraries, I'd appreciate help.
Looks like you're into a rabbit hole. I tried to find something on the topic but it looks pretty secretive. I found this recent article that talks about the motivations of the government to deport nazis. It has some references you can lookup. But nothig about a formal declaration of war. Hope it can help.https://es.scribd.com/document/493595534/El-Tercer-Reich-en-Venezuela-Las-Conexiones-Olvidadas-Sputnik-Mundohttps://www.elnacional.com/2019/03/los-nazis-deportados-venezuela-durante-segunda-guerra-mundial_275140/
Venezuela never formally declared war, What you're looking for the "Gaceta Oficial de Venezuela" edition #21638, the official newspaper where the Ministry of Foreign relations Acknowledged The warring acts of Germany and Japan, the other countries just took that as a declaration of war but you won't find any document as official as this oneSadly I couldn't find a higher quality version of the bottom right square that has it
>>1541570And this is slightly higher quality but it's missing the section
>>1541570>Foreign*Internal
>>1541569Thank you for having checked and for sharing.>>1541570>>1541571Thank you very much! Much appreciated!I also found this article that transcribes the section in the bottom right, but sadly doesn't show the original scan in high quality,https://venezuelainmortal.com/la-declaracion-de-beligerancia-de-venezuela-contra-alemania-y-japon/Also, I found this paragraph in 'Venezuela Up-to-Date, Vol. 11, No. 11, October 1951,' that mentions Venezuela only just ended it's state of war with Germany at that time,https://www.google.com/books/edition/Venezuela_Up_to_date/ulE7AQAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Venezuelan+Germany+February+1945&pg=RA22-PA9&printsec=frontcoverThere's even less about that than the declaration, sadly.I'm still curious what shows up here, >>1541526
