Abstract
An Armenian umbrella organization, the Armenian National Union (ANU), was created in the United States in 1917. It was composed of representatives of the Armenian religious denominations, the political parties and the Armenian General Benevolent Union. Its Argentinian counterpart was born in the first months of 1918, but after a short existence it had to be recreated in September of the same year. The ANU Argentina Chapter actively promoted the Armenian Cause and became the official representative of the Armenians in Argentina. Nevertheless, the divisions within the North American ANU triggered a political crisis in the Argentinian Chapter, which was reorganized in June 1920 under the name of "Armenian National Union of Argentina". However, the Social Democrat Henchakian Party and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation did not accept to resume their association to the Union and the latter practically ceased to exist. Henceforth, it continued nominally till 1928 merely as a vehicle to furnish official documentation to the Armenian refugees and immigrants to Argentina.
