National Revolutionary Alliance of the Americas
National Revolutionary Alliance of the Americas (NRAA)
Formation
The National Revolutionary Alliance of the Americas (NRAA) was formed in the aftermath of the Axis victory in Europe and the growing global divide of the late 1940s. Headquartered in Caracas, Venezuela, the alliance is led by the Venezuelan regime, which embraced a national-fascist doctrine blending militarism, nationalism, and revolutionary syndicalist economics.
The NRAA is composed of Venezuela, El Salvador, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic, all nations that fell under the sway of charismatic authoritarian leaders inspired by European fascist movements, but adapted to Latin American realities.
The alliance portrays itself as a continental revolutionary front, claiming to liberate Latin America from “Anglo-American imperialism” and “foreign exploitation.” In practice, it is a militarized bloc, marked by tight political control, mass rallies, and a strong emphasis on youth indoctrination.
Leadership and Ideology
The Venezuelan government provides the core leadership of the NRAA, framing itself as the “vanguard of the Latin American Revolution.”
Its ideology combines authoritarian nationalism, corporatist economics, and anti-communism, while paradoxically borrowing revolutionary language to justify expansion. The NRAA rejects U.S. influence in the hemisphere, accusing Washington of exploiting Latin American economies for its own geopolitical aims.
Military and Organization
The alliance created the Continental Revolutionary Army (CRA), a combined force trained in Venezuela and equipped with German surplus weapons acquired through covert channels.
- Each member state contributes a division, though Venezuela dominates the command structure.
- Paramilitary groups, modeled on militias and shock troops, serve as internal enforcers and symbols of revolutionary strength.
Geopolitical Ambitions
The NRAA openly dreams of a united authoritarian Latin America, under Venezuelan leadership, that can stand as a third pole between the U.S.-led American Continental Block and the German-dominated Schutzpakt und Reichsschutz.
It positions itself as the “true voice of the oppressed nations of the Americas.” Though smaller and less industrially powerful than its rivals, the NRAA thrives on ideological zeal, propaganda, and anti-imperialist rhetoric, making it a destabilizing force in the Americas during the early Cold War.
