challenges
Long term
unpopular governments from Infamous Decade, no real democracy, widespread corruption, history of military governments
the argentinian Middle class felt their voices were not heard, intellectuals were poitically frustated, as favousritism was shown to business and politicals-> they did not feel respected,
the Working class felt overlooked constantly, even though laws for their protection existed they had more advantages for the employer
Buenos Aires dominated politically and economically, masses of poor rural workers emigrated to Buenos Aires, in the city living conditions were incredibly low for many workers, in slums especially
short term challenges
start of the Wordl War 2
during mot of the World War Argentina proclaimed neutrality, the US put pressure on Argentina to chose a side, the 1943 coup wanted to prevent Argentina to declare war on the Axis
the GOU- Grupo de Oficiales Unidos, which J. Peron was a founding member of, consisted of young people from the working class and Middle class-> the GOU was nationalist, anti-communist and ultra-catholic
the GOU´s aims were to end corruption and fraud, develop industries and strengthen the economy, improved the working and living conditions for the working class and stop the spread of communism among them, to internationally defend Argentina´s position of neutrality in WW2
