Argentine Revolution

The Argentine Revolution was a military-led movement in 1955 that overthrew Argentina’s government, ending President Juan Domingo Perón’s regime. It was driven by military officers and conservative groups unhappy with Perón’s policies, which included populist reforms and close ties with labor. The revolution resulted in a period of political instability, censorship, and repression, as the new government sought to suppress Peronism. Though initially successful, the movement set the stage for ongoing struggles over democracy, civil rights, and political power in Argentina for years to come.
