Havana conference, pan-American meeting held in July 1940 to discuss neutrality and economic co-operation. The principal topic was the protection of peace in the
western hemisphere. The USA, traditionally opposed to the transfer of territory in the Americas from one European power to another, feared that European colonies in the area might be converted into ‘strategic centres of aggression’ if any were acquired by the Axis. The delegates from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, and the USA therefore agreed, by the Havana Act, that there should be a collective trusteeship of any territory which was in danger of becoming such a centre. The Act also decreed that such territories should subsequently have the right to determine their own futures, which did not please the British, French, or Dutch governments. It was never invoked but
Cordell Hull, the US secretary of state who led the US delegation, accused
de Gaulle and the Free French of contravening it by occupying
St Pierre and Miquelon that December.
