Juan María Gutiérrez, canciller de la Confederación Argentina, 1854-1856

"The noted biographer of Justo José de Urquiza here traces two years in the career of his foreign minister, Juan María Gutiérrez. As Bosch observes, in that short time, Gutiérrez concluded six international treaties, opened relations with the Holy See, and began negotiations that led to Spain's recognition of the Argentine Republic"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
