Argentina's 1890 Crisis: The Panic That Reshaped a Nation

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the devastating economic crisis of 1890 in Argentina, a turning point that ended the 'Unicato' rule of President Miguel Ángel Juárez Celman and triggered a political revolution. They discuss the speculative boom fueled by British investment, the collapse of the Banco Nacional, and the subsequent default on Argentina's foreign debt. The conversation covers the rise of the Unión Cívica Radical, the Revolución del Parque led by Leandro Alem, and the key figures like Carlos Pellegrini and Bartolomé Mitre who shaped Argentina's response. Lucas explains how the crisis reshaped Argentina's relationship with foreign capital and set the stage for the modern political landscape, including the emergence of the radical party as a major force. The episode delves into the Baring Brothers collapse, the role of the landed elite, and the long-term consequences for Argentina's economy and society. This is a fresh angle not covered in prior episodes, focusing on the financial panic of 1890 and its aftermath.
