Juan Domingo Perón |
||||||
 |

|
||||||
| Juan Domingo Perón took part in a 1943 military coup that overthrew Argentina’s elected government. As secretary of labor and social welfare during the military regime, Perón built a strong base of political support among workers, which allowed him to win Argentina’s presidential election in 1946. Ousted by a military coup in 1955, Perón returned to Argentina to serve a brief term as president prior to his death in 1974. | ||||||
