The Laurel Incident

The Laurel Incident

The "Laurel" incident occurred when the United States intercepted a letter of congratulation from Spain's foreign ministry to Filipino Puppet President José Laurel on October 18, 1943.

The United States used the incident to put pressure on Spain to stop selling tungsten to Germany and to withdrawn the Blue Division from the Eastern Front. Thus it marked an important turning point in Spain's foreign policy during the Second World War.
