History of Argentina (1946-1955)
The history of Argentina from 1946 to 1955, known as the Peronist Years or the Peronist Era (Spanish: Era Peronista), began with the election of candidate Juan Domingo Perón, and ended with the 1955 coup d'état which ousted Perón's government. His government was influential for initiating industrialization in Argentina, expanding social rights (such as for workers, women, children, and the elderly)[1][2], and making public university tuition-free. Alongside his wife, Eva Duarte ("Evita"), they also pushed for women's suffrage, provided charity and built approximately half a million houses.[3]
This period of history is often divided between the First Peronism (1946-1951) that corresponds to Perón's first presidency, and Second Peronism (1951-1955) that corresponds to his second term, after being re-elected in 1951.
