The "Infamous Decade" refers to the 1930s in Argentina, marked by political instability and economic turmoil. This period began with the overthrow of President Hipólito Yrigoyen in 1930, leading to a series of military and conservative governments. The decade was characterized by corruption, repression, and the rise of populism, culminating in the emergence of Juan Domingo Perón. During the Infamous Decade, the government manipulated elections and suppressed dissent, creating a climate of fear. Economic challenges, including the Great Depression, exacerbated social issues, leading to widespread poverty. This era set the stage for significant political changes in Argentina, influencing its future trajectory.
