HILA 120 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Casa Rosada, Axis Powers, United Nations Economic Commission For Latin America And The Caribbean
Document Summary
Allowed some radicals back into system but only if they behaved under elite rules. Lost jobs and savings/ all money ever. Happening even as arg was supplying more and more goods to br. Rich getting richer and poor still suffering. Increase in strikes and cost of living (now based on fact that it was very hard to get things imported) War cuts off possibility of imports- prewar consumer goods are now extremely expensive. Didn"t break relations w/ ally powers or axis powers. 1943: united officers group (grupo oficiales unidos) Broke rank and file of officer class. Generals and admirals had to be in charge of gov"t. They were all elitist and didn"t want social movement to take place. Gou had to take secondary role as military consolidated power and began to run gov"t (peron chose administration of labor) Once it becomes clear that there are legit reasons for striking, wave of strikes builds dramatically.
