Abstract

The article analyzes one of the episodes of the international response to the situation with German refugees which arose in the late 1930s. Representatives of the delegation during the negotiations at the Eivan Conference in 1938 declared the country's readiness to host one hundred thousand forced migrants from Central Europe. This proposal was of interest to the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees and the American Presidential Advisory Committee on Political Refugees. The purpose of the article is to investigate the practical implementation of the humanitarian initiative of the Republic on the establishment of an agrarian colony for Jewish escapees from Nazi persecution. During the research and preparation of the given article general scientific (of systematic analysis) and special historical (historical-systematic, historicaldescriptive, historical-comparative, periodization) methods of scientific systematization and analysis were used. It should also be noted that the article is based on the scientific principles, systemicity and historicism.The results of the paper can be significant for specialists in conducting studies on the world history of the mid-twentieth century, as well as for the development and teaching of normative and special courses on contemporary history of the USA and the history of Latin America. Prospects for further research should be linked to the study of the impact of the Dominican project on the implementation of American assistance policies in other countries of the region.
