Argentina's 1930 Coup: The First Military Intervention

In 1930, Argentina experienced its first military coup in the modern era, toppling the democratically elected president Hipólito Yrigoyen. This episode explores the background of the Great Depression's impact on Argentina, the role of nationalist and conservative forces, and the figure of General José Félix Uriburu. We discuss the coup itself, the establishment of the Década Infame, and how this event set a precedent for military intervention in Argentine politics for decades to come. Key figures include Yrigoyen, Uriburu, and Agustín P. Justo, as well as the role of the newspaper Crítica and the Liga Republicana.
