Lesson Topic
Juan Peron and Peronism in Argentina
Lesson Outline
Juan Perón was the President of Argentina from 1946-52, 1952-55, and 1973-74. He built large support among the Argentinian working class, partially due to the popularity and charisma of his wife, Eva Perón. He developed a doctrine of "Peronism" or "Justicialism," which drew from fascism, socialism, social democracy, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's writings, among other influences. The support for Perón started to dwindle after Eva Perón's death in 1952. In 1955, Perón was ousted by a military coup and forced to flee the country. He returned in 1972 and once again became Argentina's president in 1973. His last term was, however, plagued by high inflation and economic instability. Perón also suffered from poor health and died in office in 1974. Cameron then learned about Argentina's "Dirty War" from 1974 - 1983. It's estimated between 9,000 - 30,000 were killed or "disappeared" in an attempt by the governing junta to silence opposition. This is similar to what Cameron learned about Pinochet in Chile yesterday.
