¿ Cuáles fueron las desventajas y cuáles las ventajas del peronismo?
En febrero 1946, cuando Juan Domingo Perón vino al poder en la elección más democrática que Argentina había experimentado hasta entonces y hacía ya tres años que el Peronismo existía. Había sido creciendo desde 1943 - Perón trabajaba como Secretaria de trabajo y previsión de la nación - y seguiría mucho después, con la adición de María Eva Duarte, la mujer que se casaría con Perón, y quien traería consecuencias profondas con respecto a la vida y a la política argentina. En este ensayo, voy a analizar las ventajas y desventajas del peronismo examinando primeramente la política precedente y las condiciones que existían antes. Luego como cambiaron las cosas con la introducción del peronismo, analizando la economía en general, los sindicatos, nacionalización/educación/la prensa(que incluyen corrupción y censura), la política exterior, la ideología y finalmente Eva Perón y su impacto, mientras indicando a quién benefiaron los cambios.

Antes de 1943

Económicamente, en los años veinte había habido una depresión mundial pero hacia los años treinta Argentina estaba recuperando y condiciones estaban mejorando. Argentina había introducido derechos de importación muy altos y tipos de cambio favorables para los exportadores. Producción industrial dobló entre 1930/5, importación bajó y la economía se hacía más industrializada. Sin embargo el 70% de los ferrocarriles estaban manejados por compañias británicas y en 1939 el 60% de comercio extranjero era con la Gran Bretaña. El golpe militar de 1930 destruyó los avances de los movimientos de trabajadores de las décadas anteriores y los empresarios aprovecharon de la situación. Los salarios bajaron y una encuesta realizada mostró que un 60% de familias trabajadores vivía en una sóla habitación. Es evidente que antes de la llegada de Perón, aunque en algunos aspectos parecía que el país lentamente mejoraba, contaba mucho con comercio extranjero y las condiciones laborables empeoraban.

Políticamente, Argentina estaba un desastro.

    Peronism was an Argentine political movement which was conceived by the former President of Argentina- Juan Domingo Peron and his wife Eva Peron. The pillars of the Peronist movement were social justice, economic independence and political sovereignty. Peron’s model of the mixed economy plus the central role of the worker unions was similar to that of the Scandinavian welfare state. (1) In a speech that Peron made in the Congress in 1948, he stated that Peronism was humanism in action. He called it the new political doctrine which rejects politics and all the ill-will it causes. Peronism itself was an idea which stated that all wealth of the nation should be shared out equally amongst those who contributed to bringing it to its current state. Before 1947, women were not given their due rights. They were not considered equal to men and were not considered fit to hold any social designation or carry out any task. It was after Juan Peron came to power, that women started to enjoy basic human rights and…

    The Latin American countries were also hindered by economic matters. The countries mostly affected by economic transformations include Brazil, Argentina, Cuba, and Mexico. In Brazil, economic changes began to take place once coffee began to become exported, and by 1860, it became Brazil’s largest import crop. As presented in Document 5, the fazendas, or coffee estates, required much labor and cost to produce and preserve. Most of Brazil’s population was enslaved, and so the workers confined themselves to living an ‘isolated’ life dedicated to the fazendas. They had “no illusions of independence”, although the writer of Document 5 makes it seem as their job was not as dreadful as it was made out to be. In Mexico, haciendas, or large estates, primarily made up the land system. As described in Document 6, the haciendas included “all the customary accessories of an independent community”, and they are mostly described, by the writer, as great, striking features of Mexico. They were solely developed as economic enterprises that granted profit and linked regional or international markets. However, Mexico had a very large rural peasantry and the size of working classes increased. As the size of the haciendas expanded, the peasants were pressured. This soon led to strikes and labor unrest. These frustrations erupted into the Mexican Revolution, which lasted for ten years. Seven years after the conclusion of the war, in 1917, the hacienda system was abolished by law. In Cuba, the majority of plantations were under American rule. The investments Americans made in Cuba allowed for the mass production of sugar cane. The plantations were highly profitable, and, as shown in Document 4, worked upon by both men and women. These economic changes in Latin America eventually led to prosperity and…

    This document was proclaimed in public on the 24th of February, 1947. It introduced many rights that can be compared to Canada’s Charter Rights we have in place today. Before Peron, Argentina did not have set rules and laws in order to protect and better the life style of the working man. Peron gave the Argentine people the right to work and have such things as social security. This entailed an individual’s rights to be protected in case of disability. He gave them the ability to work at a rate that would support a lifestyle and the right to be in a better economic situation. This included the right to a fair wage, and the right to well-being. Employers now had the duty to train employees and create working conditions that reciprocated respect in the productive relationship of their workers. The Workers Rights was seen as one of Peron’s strongest platforms, and one that the Argentine people would remember him by in the past and present. When looking at the time period before Juan Peron, there were no such documents to help better the working class of the Argentine people. He created such an improvement within their government and legal system that would be remembered forever. At the turn of the 20th century, Argentina became quite wealthy and well established. The work in the past years in order to get to this rank now, took a lot of…

    As demonstrated in this essay, the democracy in the Chilean government broke down because of the low levels of economic development, which resulted in the inequality between social classes. This inequality led to President Salvador Allende’s attempt to reduce the power of the wealthy and to create socialized sectors of the economy. However, despite his attempts the economy continued to weaken and the resistance among Chile’s elites against Salvador Allende grew. Because of this resistance, the government’s ability to govern became crippled which resulted in a…

    In 1816, Argentina officially declared their independence from Spain. For several decades after, Argentina was heaved into a sequence of devastating civil conflicts, culminated under brutal tyrant Juan Manuel de Rosas, a conservative. During Rosas reign, two of the most important liberal leaders, Juan Bautista Alberdi, and Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, spent many years in exile. While in exile, they made their way to Uruguay and Chile. Both men were literarily gifted. Enraged at Rosas, they took their fury and put in into literature. Their lives epitomized the liberal fascination of European culture and liberalism's close relation with written culture; such as books, education and newspapers. "Wanting more than just progress, Argentine liberals dedicated themselves to transforming the Argentine people - culturally, through education, and physically,…
