Archival Overview

Three-time President of Argentina who founded Peronism (Justicialism), championing the rights of the working-class 'descamisados', nationalizing railways, and dominating 20th-century Argentine politics.

Biographical Record

An army colonel who served as military attaché in fascist Italy, Juan Domingo Peron (1895–1974) became Secretary of Labor in 1943, creating unions, paid vacations, pensions, and minimum wages. When imprisoned by military rivals, a massive demonstration of working-class 'descamisados' filled the Plaza de Mayo on October 17, 1945, forcing his release.

Elected President in 1946 alongside his wife Eva Peron, he enacted Justicialism ('Third Position' between capitalism and communism). Overthrown in a bloody naval-military coup in 1955, he spent eighteen years in exile in Madrid before returning in triumph in 1973 to be elected president for a third time.
