Port Extranjero's formative years, from its inauguration in [[1926]] to the mid-20th century, were marked by incremental developments. Established on December 9, [[1926]], under the provisions of the Treaty of Foxhey, the port rapidly asserted its role as a vital link in the burgeoning trade relations between [[Burgundie]] and [[Canespa]]. The initial decades saw the port becoming a linchpin for [[Canespa]]'s export marketing efforts, now that it finally had access to the modern infrastructure to export its goods to a global market that was exploding as the recovery from the devastation of the [[First Great War]] was finalized. It was also a period that saw a large global trend away from rural farming life towards urban life as the mechanization of industries and injection of government funding during the [[First Great War]] spurred a marked uptick in manufacturing worldwide. This left a general deficit in food production to consumption that [[Canespa]] was uniquely positioned to take advantage of. As the 1920s turned into the 1930s Port Extranjero set about its first port expansion building large warehouses that took advantage of burgeoning air conditioning technologies that, when paired with a growing fleet of [[Merchant Marine of Burgundie]] {{wp|reefer ship}}s meant that [[Burgundie]] was able to move [[Canespa]]n goods across the entire globe and to store produce and wait for better offers as opposed to taking offers as they came to reduce spoilage. During this time [[Canespa]] and [[Burgundie]] were making money faster then they could spend it. In [[1934]], Port Extranjero was regarded by many as one of the top 5 most advanced ports in the world. | |||
During the [[Second Great War]] development in the port stagnated, but the need to feed the war effort continued to make it a busy place. Because of the high volume of use and traffic the port was in a state of overuse by the end of the war in [[1943]]. There was not a lot of money from [[Burgundie]] being allocated to the renovation of non-battle-damaged infrastructure, so the port limped along, while still moving a lot of cargo. In the late 1940s there were investments made to deepen the channel to allow for the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] {{wp|Liberty Ship}}s which had been transformed into cargo ships for the [[Merchant Marine of Burgundie]]. In the 1950s and 60s the facilities were updated again to allow for newer, larger ships to berth. By [[1964]] there were 25 cargo terminals, 82 cranes, and 182 km of on-dock rail. | |||
