How Electoral Fraud Destroyed Argentina and Paved the Way for Perón
Electoral Fraud, the Rise of Perón and Demise of Checks and Balances in Argentina
In the early 20th century, Argentina was one of the world's richest nations, on the cusp of becoming a stable democracy. But a decade of systematic electoral fraud in the 1930s shattered public trust in institutions, leading directly to the rise of Juan Perón. This video, based on the research of Lee J. Alston and Andrés A. Gallo, reveals how cheating at the ballot box not only wiped out checks and balances but also triggered a cycle of political chaos and economic decline that lasts to this day. Discover the shocking counterfactual: without fraud, Perón would never have won the 1946 election. Watch to understand how fragile democracy really is.
