Argentina 1955: The Revolución Libertadora That Overthrew Perón

In 1955, a military coup known as the Revolución Libertadora ended Juan Domingo Perón's first presidency. This episode explores the buildup—including the burning of churches on June 11, the Navy's bombing of Plaza de Mayo, and the generals' decision to remove a democratically elected leader. We discuss the role of the Catholic Church, the opposition within the military, and the violent crackdown that preceded the coup. Lucas and Luna also examine the aftermath: the banning of Peronism, the exile of Perón, and the seeds of Argentina's long political instability. A nuanced look at a pivotal turning point in modern Argentine history.
