Argentina's 1905 General Strike: Labor's First Stand
Om avsnittet
In this episode of The Story of Argentina, Lucas and Luna explore the dramatic events of November 1905, when Buenos Aires was paralyzed by the first general strike in Latin American history. We look at how the Federación Obrera Regional Argentina (FORA) mobilized tens of thousands of workers across docks, bakeries, and tram lines, challenging the oligarchic government of President Roque Sáenz Peña. The conversation details the violent crackdown led by Governor José Camilo Cugat, the use of military force against strikers, and the immediate aftermath that forced the state to recognize labor rights for the first time. You will hear about key figures like Ricardo Mallea and the specific demands that sparked the unrest, from the eight-hour workday to amnesty for imprisoned anarchists. This is a crucial turning point in Argentina’s social history, marking the moment the working class stepped onto the national stage with undeniable power.
