Diplomatic influence over Pan-American neutrality

Britain used relationships across American governments to influence the Panama Declaration and Pan-American neutrality policy, even though support for Britain was not universal.

Notes

The Pan-American neutrality arrangements and the Panama Declaration show the diplomatic network in use. British representatives could argue their case at several levels because they maintained good connections with every government involved. Support for Britain was not universal, but contact and access remained. Millington-Drake's work in Uruguay was one part of the wider network that made this influence possible.
