    Argentina experienced a period of oligarchy rule from 1862-1912 after generals were rewarded with land following military campaigns, forming a growing aristocratic class. This oligarchy wanted to maintain power and excluded the growing working class population, employing fraud in elections. As European immigration increased in the later 1800s and early 1900s, tensions rose as the working class sought political representation but faced resistance from the unwilling oligarchy. Between 1930-1943, the oligarchy allied with the military to stage frequent coups to retain control as demands for reforms grew. Juan and Eva Peron emerged in the 1940s as symbols for the working class by advocating for policies to improve conditions. Coups continued regularly in the following decades, undermining stability.

    Argentina politics:

    the story of two classes

    OLIGARCHY

    WORKING CLASS

    Oligarchy was formed after a


    military campaign
    1862-1912

    If you had had the luck to be one of Julio Rocas generals, you would had
    got a piece of land, becoming the growing argentine oligarchy

    Oligarchy wanted to retain the


    power, who could blame them?
    At the beginning it was an easy
    task: exclusion and fraud were
    part of their agenda

    besides Argentina almost had


    no population. So who would
    complain?

    1862-1912

    But then the European


    immigrants came
    Immigrants became
    Argentinas working
    force and they were
    not going to easily
    accept the status
    quo

    1862-1912

    Conflict emerged and changes


    were needed
    1890-1930

    But oligarchy was not willing to


    lose its power
    1930-1943

    Oligarchy joined forces with the army and coups became


    frequent (infame decade)

    But society still wanted


    someone to listen to their
    needs
    1943-1955

    Juan Domingo and Eva Peron were a symbol for a generation


    as they worked on improving the working class conditions

    But coups continued and


    continued
    1955-1983

    Coups were so common that society saw the oligarchy as


    coup gorillas
