President of Argentina

holding the world’s largest population of Italians outside of Italy and the second largest population of Jews in the Americas, outside of New York. The name Argentina comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum, and they chose this name because the original European settlers thought the country was full of silver and somehow this rumor reached Spain in 1524. Their mother tongue is a unique dialect of Spanish called Lunfardo, which is known to be derived and developed from the criminal slang in Buenos Aires. Being the world’s 5th leading producer of wine and the origin of the Tango dance, their culture is rich and comprised of refiner tastes.The workforce is 40 percent female and 30 percent of congressional seats are also held by women, so they are a land of forward-thinkers. Their political structure however, is so far reaching and deep-rooted that different political parties retain their own brands of beer, which speaks volumes about the historical diversity and varying mentalities.

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…

SOUTH AMERICA – BRAZIL, ARGENTINA, and CHILE South America. When I think of this area several thoughts run rampant through my mind. My thoughts blissfully wander through tropical beaches and long, warm sunny days. The perfect place to take a tranquil vacation, laying on the beach or playing golf at a coastal resort. A place to achieve complete ataraxia. My attention then turns to the violence and drugs which seem to be prevalent in these areas. We hear of the drug wars which run rampant in…

Argentinians specifically experienced. Argentina’s issues are the best ones to discuss only because I admire that county and have always wanted to go there, mostly because I really admire their flag. I love the idea of the sun and the sky blue colors which is why it was my first choice. The social issue that Argentina is facing is gender equity which mostly pertains to the violence against women and girls. The economic issue that they are facing is unemployment. The last issue, which is the…

Brazil’s lasted 21 years, 1964-1985. However, they each experienced them in a completely different manner. At the end of…

After the creation of Republics Latin American politicians looked to the United States for support and guidance. Two such influential men were Domingo Sarmiento, President of Argentina, and Matias Romero, Mexican Ambassador to the United States.

Lieutenant General Jorge Rafaél Videla assumed the role of…
