The Secret War Behind Argentina's Golden Age
Om avsnittet
Argentina’s late 19th-century boom is often remembered for wheat exports and European immigration, but the foundation of that wealth was built on blood. This episode explores the Conquista del Desierto, General Julio Argentino Roca’s military campaigns that seized indigenous territory in Patagonia and the Pampas. We examine how the state justified this expansion as 'civilization' while systematically displacing the Mapuche, Tehuelche, and Ranquel peoples. Through the lens of maps, military reports, and survivor testimonies, we uncover the brutal reality behind the nation’s agricultural prosperity and the long shadow it casts over modern Argentine identity.
