The 1955 Revolución Libertadora and the Fall of Perón

In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into one of the most pivotal and violent days in Argentine history: June 16, 1955, when Navy fighter planes bombed Plaza de Mayo in an attempt to kill Juan Domingo Perón. They explore the lead-up to the coup, the military factions involved, the role of the Catholic Church, Perón's increasingly authoritarian turn, and the aftermath that saw the bombing, the failed uprising, and ultimately the successful Revolución Libertadora in September. The conversation covers key figures like General Eduardo Lonardi, Admiral Isaac Rojas, and President Perón himself, as well as the iconic locations: Casa Rosada, Plaza de Mayo, and the Córdoba hinterland. Lucas explains how the 1955 coup ended Perón's first era, began a period of military rule, and set the stage for the deep polarization that would define Argentina for decades.
