Andrew Lloyd Webber is a man who made the musical Evita to keep her legacy alive long after her death. Although he does this, he knows that Evita and her husband Juan Peron were people of questionable pasts. I agree with Webber that both of them should be relished for what they did in helping Argentina, but their pasts are nothing to be proud of. People should take caution to putting these two as ideal model figures. Maria Eva Duarte, otherwise known as Evita, and Juan Peron were two of the most influential people that resonated in Argentina, but both have an irrefutable past that cannot be ignored.
Maria Eva Duarte, known as Evita, grew up in an unfortunate situation. Her father had another family outside of her and her mother.

In 1973 he ends up coming back to Argentina and becomes President with Isabel as Vice President due to the presence of having Evita’s body. Her body, tortured by all the moving, is restored by someone and sits next to Peron’s when he dies in 1974. One mystery that Peron held was his relationship to Nazis. Many Germans came to Argentina to escape the punishment for World War II, and Peron lets them. This shows that he wanted all the power and wanted to be a dictator because these Nazis, which included some of the most evil men, would probably have been executed if found. Due to this and other questionable actions Peron is a debatable role
