🇦🇷 Argentina: A Century of Collapse | Part I

What you're seeing:
Argentina enters the twentieth century as one of the richest countries in the world, then begins a long political and economic rupture.

This video follows the export collapse of 1929, the 1930 coup, Peron’s rise, Evita’s public role, the 1952 funeral crowds, and the violence that ended his first presidency in 1955.

Why did this happen?
Argentina’s wealth depended heavily on exports to European buyers, especially agricultural products. When global trade collapsed after 1929, the model broke under pressure.

The military stepped into politics in 1930, ending decades of constitutional rule. From the 1943 coup, Peron built power through the Labor Secretariat by organizing support among workers and unions.

Notes:
The 1930 crowd scenes and the October 1945 tram are based on period photographs, colorized and extended for the vertical format. Signage on the tram was corrected to the original.
The Callao firefight, the Labor Secretariat dialogue, the balcony scene, and the June 1955 bombing scenes are recreations. The secretariat dialogue is dramatized, not a transcript.
The 1947 suffrage law was passed by Congress and signed by Peron; Evita was its leading public advocate. Argentine women first voted in November 1951.
The June 1955 bombing of the Plaza de Mayo killed more than 300 civilians and preceded the September coup that removed Peron; the sequence is compressed.
Peron took asylum aboard the Paraguayan gunboat Paraguay in September 1955, beginning 18 years of exile. He later settled in Spain, where he remained a leader-in-exile until his return to Argentina in 1973.
