Argentina
On 4 June 1943, a military coup overthrew the civilian government in Argentina. The movement was led by the United Officers Group, which criticized corruption and sought political reform. The coup ushered in a period of military influence over national policy. It also set the stage for the rise of Juan Domingo Perón. The political shift influenced labor legislation, social welfare, and industrial development. The event remains one of the country’s most significant twentieth-century turning points.
