The aim of this paper is to analyse the creation of the Middle East as an European plan, as well as the intensive oil exploitation in the region, that has begun since the beginning of the XX century. After the First World War, the USA oil companies have participated of oil exploitation, while the country was acting in the South America to establish her influence once the South American countries were still under the European one. After the Second World War, the political and military presence of the USA in the Middle East and in the South America has increased, interfering decisively in the international relations of both regions. During the Cold War, the USA acted intensively in the foreign policy of strategic nations, such as Brazil, Argentina and the Middle East. These countries have developed their own strategies to reach their goals, as well as the USA ones. The Brazilian and the Argentinian presences in the Middle East took place according to the USA plans, but the relations between Brazil and Argentina with Iraq and Iran, respectively, created an outstanding cooperation in the military and nuclear areas, that was important to these countries, while Brazil and Argentina also helped the USA military advisors in the South and Central America against guerrilla groups. After the downfall of the USSR, according to the USA strategy, it was not necessary the continuation of the military and nuclear cooperation of Brazilian and Argentinian techinicians with the countries of the Middle East. In the South America, the USA plans were established by the Washington Consensus, that were accepted by the newly elected civilian presidents, while Iraq was invaded by the USA troops and an international coalition being obliged to accept the new status quo imposed by the world hegemonic power, in the beginning of the 90 s in that region. On the other hand, the new Brazilian and Argentinian Presidents dealt with the countries of the Middle East differently. According to their commercial advantages.
