Juan Domingo Perón was an Argentine politician, military officer, and president between 1946-1952 and 1973-1974. He was loved by the masses, and hated by a lot others, but one thing is for sure, like historians Matthew Karush and Oscar Carosa said: “Perón transformed Argentina’s economy, its social structure, and its political culture in ways that continue to shape Argentina’s reality. No doubt about it, his government brought controversy, and social and political division; however, he still is a well-known figure, not only in Argentina and Latin America, but also in the world. We cannot explain Peron’s government and why he gained so much popularity so fast, without talking about the Argentina’s context when he came to power. During the “Década Infame” (1930-1943), the government at the time protected only the rich or basically the ones in power, but did nothing to ease the people’s suffering. There was no middle class, and riches were getting richer, while the poor were getting even poorer and miserable. The masses, mostly industrial workers did not have a “voice” in politics, they were basically excluded from them; at the time politics were known as “private affairs”. Perón, which had been sent to many European countries during his military career, had adoration for many of …show more content…
There is no easy answer for that, but in my opinion, it’s because Perón gave the people that had nothing, something to lose. The government went to the poorest neighborhoods, and put schools for the kids, running water, and food for the families; then when it was time to support Perón’s campaign, the government went to those same neighborhoods again, but this time threatened the people to take all of their stuff away if they didn’t vote for Perón; and what you think that people is going to do? For that little taste of a better life, the government owns
In Mañana Es San Perón: A Cultural History of Perón’s Argentina, Mariano Ben Plotkin - an emeritus professor and doctor in history and writer of Peronist Argentinean history at the university of California, Berkeley, addresses one of the first populist movement in the region of South America: el peronismo. After offering an important contextualizing “Introduction,” Plotkin organized his book into four main parts composing the book, each containing two chapters, resulting in a total of eight. Consequently, the author also offers, after the main four parts, Notes, a selected bibliography, and an index. The author concludes this book with an interesting and polemic conclusion where he discusses if Peronism was totalitarian. Plotkin, in Manana es San Perón, attempts to give a historical account about Perón’s Argentina through a cultural perspective.
...ed along with the industrialization of Argentina. However, during this time corruption politically and electoral fraud was a continuing issue. Eventually, in 1944, the General Confederation of Labor overthrew the Concordancia and controlled the country.

Jorge Videla was the leader of the military-run government. At the time, it was very easy for Videla to seize power because of the highly unstable condition that Argentina was in, and had been in for decades. In September of 1955 all three branches of the military revolted and forced the president, Juan Perón, into exile. Eleven years later, in 1966, a new leader, Juan Carlos Ongania, imposed the military rule again only to have the former president, Perón, return in 1973, and ...
The Factors That Prompted Democratisation in Argentina The Constitution of 1853 gave the vote to all native‑born males, irrelevant of literacy levels or ownership of property, and since this turning point in its history, the Argentine Republic, or Argentina, has had a precarious and temperamental relationship with democracy. Argentina has flirted with many differing systems of government from the end of the Second World War, involving personalities ranging from General Juan Perón, the 'saviour of the working class,' to the oppressive and power‑hungry generals of the late 1970s junta, before seeing its democratic aspirations finally realised in the form of Raul Alfonsin, a human rights lawyer who was elected following the implosion of the stratocracy, after the Falklands War of 1982. Between 1955 and 1983 political instability reached critical levels, and Argentina experienced eighteen presidents in only twenty-eight years. Not one civilian government stayed in power for its constitutionally-defined term of six years without having its power interrupted by the armed forces. The transition towards democracy started officially in 1983 when the military held elections, but really started after General Galtieri took power in a palace coup two years previously.

Juan Perón and Getúlio Vargas were very different in how they decided to do things while in power. Juan Peron felt as though more things could be accomplished with force while Getulio Vargas felt the complete opposite. Vargas tried his best to accomplish things without the feeling of force or violence. But somehow that didn't benefit him as much as you would think. It was almost as if people needed to be forced in order to actually listen, it was almost as if people could care less about was Vargas was trying to do to help everyone in Brazil. Vargas truly wanted change, “he proposed a comprehensive labor code, although union leaders -many of whom were communists and anarcho-syndicalists- did not support him, considering him just another incumbent politician. Is platform advocated the

Q6: The leaders of Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina have similar ways on how to control their nations and there are some differences on how they rule their nations. The leaders of Brazil was Getulio Vargas. He was a dictator of Brazil during the 1930s. He wanted to make Brazil a modern nation just like the United States when it came with economy and weapons. Since the United States was way a head when it came to the weapons back in the Cold War. The Cold War was a war between communism and nationalism. Communism means everyone is equal. No one is a higher class than another person. Even if it's not the best quality, at least everyone gets that. Nationalism is where there is upper class and lower class, but they have freedom to how to live their
Oloixarac presents the Kirchner administration as one losing its “grip on power”, that begun to use “Orwellian” methods to keep that power. She satirically describes Kirchner as a “bejeweled, Ferragamo-carrying committed Socialist,” using references to the designer clothes to illustrate to the audience that Kirchner only cares about her appearance to the public and to history. Oloixarac wants to make it clear that no matter whether or not Argentina succeeds in paying its debts Kirchner is planning on keeping up her appearance as a successful president. This strong emotional appeal presents the audience with the vision of the Kirchner administration that Oloixarac sees, one that is taking advantage of the Argentine
When Juan Peron rose to power in 1946 the tango again reached the pinnacle of popularity in Argentina, as both he and his wife Evita embraced it wholeheartedly. Yet, with Evita's death in 1952, the tango again fell from the mainstream spotlight. The necessity of going underground combined with the eventual invasion of rock and roll sent the tango into decline until the mid-1980s when the stage show Tango Argentino opened in Paris. Once again Paris was ground zero for igniting tango excitement worldwide. The show toured the world and stimulated a revival in Europe, North America and Japan that we are part of today.
This reform deeply effected Argentina and hurt the popularity of the party. In general Peronist Presidencies were not known for their democratic policies, sometimes categorized as "semiauthortarian" in terms of civil rights policies. Moreover, all the administrations were ripe with corruption and not until the
Ruben Dario was the most influential Nicaraguan poet, known as the father of “Modernism.” Modernism is a late 19th century Spanish-language literary movement that rose from a reaction against the literary naturalism and against the wider bourgeois conformity and materialism of the Western Society. He was born in Metapa, Nicaragua (now Ciudad Dario) on 18 January 1867. His parents named him Felix Ruben Garcia Sarmiento. He renamed himself as Ruben Dario since his paternal family used the surname Dario for a long time and become a patronymic. His parents name were Ruben Garcia known as Manuel Dario, and Rosa Sarmiento;
