Argentina 1943: The GOU Coup That Brought Perón to Power

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the June 1943 military coup that overthrew President Ramón Castillo and set the stage for Juan Domingo Perón's rise. They examine the secretive Grupo de Oficiales Unidos (GOU), the role of General Pedro Pablo Ramírez and General Edelmiro Farrell, the internal power struggles within the new military government, and Perón's early actions as Secretary of Labor that won him working-class support. They also discuss the coup's connection to World War II neutrality and the broader political context of the so-called 'Infamous Decade' that preceded it. This episode fills a crucial gap between the 1930 coup and the Perón era.
