Argentina 1930: The Coup That Toppled Yrigoyen

In 1930, a military coup ended Argentina's first experiment with universal male suffrage and launched the 'Infamous Decade' of electoral fraud and conservative rule. Lucas and Luna explore the backdrop of the Great Depression, the rise of General José Félix Uriburu, the secret nationalist society Logia General San Martín, the role of the Argentine military in politics, and the immediate aftermath: the suspension of the Sáenz Peña Law, the crackdown on radicals and anarchists, and the fate of the deposed President Hipólito Yrigoyen. They also touch on the contrasting figures of Uriburu and his successor Agustín P. Justo, and how this coup set a precedent for military interventions that would shape Argentina for decades.
