I would like to hear the situation.
Ok, here it goes:
In 1945, a military group known as GOU, which favoured the Axis, did a coup d'etat overthrowing the current goverment. A deep admirer of Musolinni, Juan Domingo Perón, was among them.
When the group divided the power Perón took the Minister of Work. There he saw the great number of injustices that the workers had to deal with. He started making some fixes but then the rest of the military feared that he might adquire too much power and imprisoned him.
The workers weren't happy with this so they made a huge protest in the Plaza de Mayo (May Square, which is in front of the "Casa Rosada" which is the home of the Executive Power). Pressured by this, the GOU released Perón and organized the next elections. Perón launched his candidature for the presidency and he won with a great majority.
During his time, he met María Eva Duarte who would later become his wife and would play a major role in the Argentinian history. While the global powers were recovering from World War 2 Perón took advantage of the situation and nationalized all the British companies like the railways. Eva Perón was also gathering power and carisma by, for example, allowing women to vote, etc. The syndicates also gathered much power and became and became a force that convinced people to not to go on strike while Perón was in charge.
As for rest for the political parties: they feared Perón would stay in power forever so all of them (Left, Centre, Right) were preparing for a coup d'etat.
In the elections of the '52 Perón and Evita won the presidency and the vice-presidency respectively. But Evita didn't manage to stay in power for too long because she had Cancer of uterus and died shortly after.
The rest of the political parties knew Perón would not be able to make a stand without Evita so they launched the coup in 1955 which was the closest thing we had to a Civil War. After an air bombing in Plaza de Mayo and some combats with the rest of the armed forces and fearing for his life, Perón was forced to leave the country and went to Spain.
In the meantime in Argentina, the Justicialist Party (the formal name for the Peronism) was banned in the elections and the presidents that were elected (Arturo Frondizi, José María Guido and Arturo Umber Illia) were overthrown by more coups *cough*because the presidents wanted to review the oil contracts they had with the USA*cough*
To make matters worse, the youth that lived during the time of Perón and had comunist ideals formed guerrillas groups that Perón as some kind of Lenin (which is the most stupid thing anyone could ever think).
After the dictators Juan Carlos Onganía, Roberto Levingston (funny fact: he was named president of Argentina while he was attending some meetings in the US, but he only found out after being removed from the presidency), the general Alejandro Agustín Lanusse knew that banning the Peronism would make things worse, so after his presidency the country would go to elections and be allowed to vote for Perón. But Perón has been vetoed in those elections, so his righthand man Roberto Cámpora postulated himself as president. His campaign slogan "Cámpora to the goverment, Perón to the power" clearly indicated Perón's plans. Once Cámpora won he inmediately quits so elections can once again take place, and this time Perón wasn't vetoed.
Perón was again in the presidency thanks to the guerrilla groups that pressured the goverments and the workers that didn't forget about him. But he had one month of life remaining. In a public act he sent to he** the guerrillas and that was like bucket of cold water. Once Perón died, the vicepresident (his wife, Isabel Martínez de Perón) faced a lot of economic and political conflicts (mainly the guerrillas) which made her resign and a new dictatorship took control of the country. That Dictatorship would be known here as the Process and as the most brutal dictatorship we've ever had.
Jorge Rafael Videla, Roberto Eduardo Viola and Leopoldo Galtieri were responsible of the murder of thousands of innocents and going to war against England, USA and the rest of the NATO because of the Malvinas/Falkland Islands. Argentina was devastated and the people wanted to send to jail the entire armed forces. Reynaldo Bignone was the last military left in charge and prepared the next elections.
Raúl Alfonsín of the Radical Party (Left) won the elections and had to face the hyperinflation and the Carapintadas(Painted Faces in English, they were a rebel part of the army that didn't want the trials against them to happen).
Then I would have to talk about the president that suceeded him but I don't want to, especially because it brings bad memories. The only thing I'm going to mention is that he set an economic time bomb which would detonate on december 2001 and pardoned all the military that were sent to jail because of the dictatorship
