| Sumario: | The purpose of this work is focused on examining the impact of the First and Second World War on the Colombian communications system, specifically on the postal, telegraph and radio broadcasting services. Regarding the postal system, the main affectation was the interruption or collapse of the routes and the damming of the postal pieces, while in the field of telegraphy and radiotelegraphy the most frequent problem was the paralysis of the expansion plans in terms of infrastructure, in addition to the technological lag, the restrictions on messages and the censorship applied according to the positions assumed by the national government. The broadcasting service demonstrated its scope like never before and was consolidated as a mechanism for propagating the interests of the allies’ cause, although it was also subject to strict censorship and restrictions on free expression. The political and ideological confrontation that arose during both external wars and the position assumed by the country regarding them exerted a notable influence on the debate on internal politics and public security policy. |
