Exile of Rosas

The Exile of Rosas refers to the forced removal of Juan Manuel de Rosas, a prominent Argentine leader, in 1852. Rosas was a strong provincial governor who held significant power through authoritarian rule. After losing a civil war and facing increasing opposition, he was compelled to leave Argentina and live in exile in Europe. His departure marked the end of his era of dominance, leading to political reorganization in the country. This event is significant as it symbolizes the shift from his dictatorial governance towards a more democratic political landscape in Argentina.
