Overview of Argentine political history

Argentina has a complex political history starting from the post-World War II era. After a military coup in 1943, Juan Domingo Perón rose to power and implemented social welfare policies, industrializing the country. However, he was overthrown by a military coup in 1956. This led to a period of military-led pseudo-democracy with oppressive rule. In 1973, Perón returned from exile and won the presidency, but his second stint was marked by a rightward shift. The military took power in 1976, leading to a dark period of repression and human rights abuses. Democracy was restored in 1983, but the country struggled with economic crises, neoliberal policies, and political instability. This brings us to the present, where Argentina faces various challenges and political tensions.
