Argentina's 1894 Radical Revolution: Leandro Alem's Last Stand

In 1894, Argentina's Radical Civic Union launched its second armed uprising against a fraudulent regime. This episode follows Leandro Alem, the fiery senator who led a desperate rebellion in Buenos Aires, only to watch it collapse within hours. We explore the secret meetings at the Taberna de los Radicales, the mismatched weapons, and the political betrayal that drove Alem to suicide. How did a movement born in a café become a national force? And why did the same elite that crushed this revolt later embrace the Radicals? A story of idealism, defeat, and the long road to democracy.
