Argentina's 1890 Revolution: The Baring Crisis and the Birth of the UCR

In 1890, Argentina faced its first major financial meltdown when the Baring Brothers bank collapsed, triggering a political crisis that would reshape the nation. Lucas and Luna explore the speculative frenzy under President Miguel Ángel Juárez Celman, the role of the Unicato political machine, and the armed uprising led by Leandro Alem, Bartolomé Mitre, and the newly formed Unión Cívica Radical. They delve into the failed revolution's aftermath, the rise of Julio Argentino Roca's second presidency, and how the economic crash created the conditions for a democratic opposition movement that would dominate Argentine politics for decades. This episode covers the Baring Crisis, the 1890 Revolution, the founding of the UCR, and the long struggle for clean elections.
