Fall from Power
October 29, 1945 Generals Goes Monteiro and Eurico Duitra staged a coup and forced Vargas to resign which suppressed the communist party
After coming back to power the aggression against Vargas grew even more and it lead to Vargas killing himself.
Rise To Power
Vargas was brought to power by political outsiders and the rank-and-file of the Armed Forces in the Revolution of 1930; this was a reaction to his loss in the presidential election earlier that year.
When the coffee oligarchy denied Vargas the presidency, he overthrew the Washington Luis government. This revolt lead to the death of the Old Republic
Rise to Power
Successes as the secretary of labor and social security, led many Argentines to be in favor of Juan Peron, as he showed during his time in office support for the unions and the rights of the working lower class Argentina.
Eva Peron- The radio star Eva Peron, the wife of Juan Peron, played the role of demagogue in motivating masses of the population to be supporters of Peron
Election
Juan Peron led a successful election campaign that would serve him as president of Argentina for two terms from 1946-1955. In 1973, Juan Peron was called back to Argentina due to what was, essentially popular demand for his governing style. Peronists on the right and the left spectrum desired a third term from Juan Peron
Use of Power

-
Populist economic policies- Hyperinflation. Peron led fiscal policies that caused an abundance of product and currency to be created, which was not effective or sustainable in the circulation of Argentine economy. There was also a failure to distribute goods granted to politicians among the Argentine population, causing more inflation
Consolidation of Power
Murdering of political opposition- Under the first Peronist "regime", a form of military police, would murder intelligentsia, or political rivals, to solidify the influence Juan Peron and Eva Peron held over Argentina.
Largely loyal population- The Argentinian working and lower class(majority of the country) were in heavy support to Eva and Juan, because the appeal they had. The demagoguery preached by the two are what led masses of Argentines to the favor of their governing style. In Juan and Eva Peron, Argentines saw themselves to some extent.
Censorship- Through censoring politicians, Juan Peron had effectively murdered them. The influential people in opposing ideology had no platform to garner support, therefore, Peron had all political influence over the Argentinian population. To understand Argentinian politics was to look to Juan and Eva Peron.
Fall from Power
Removal via military coup after in the second term. A newly formed military regime in Argentina was in opposition to the Peronist style of government, seen in both Juan and Eva Peron. Juan Peron was exiled to Venezuela for many years before he would be brought back to Argentina in the 70's to serve a third term
Third term ended through Juan Peron's failing health conditions, which were his cause of death.
