Sumario:This research discusses the historical process of establishment of the Pan-American (Pan-Am) Games and the Olympic Movement in Latin America. The data collection stage gathered primary sources from 1940 and 1950, namely: official documents of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the Pan-American Sports Organization (PASO), and others. Data analysis was performed by producing a historical narrative. Two arguments stood out in the proposal to establish the Pan-American Games: 1. The diplomatic role they played; 2.
