Juan Perón was an Argentine military officer and politician who served as the President of Argentina three times, first from 1946 to 1955, and then from 1973 to 1974. He is known for his role in establishing the political movement known as Peronism, which emphasized social justice, labor rights, and nationalism. His policies aimed to improve the lives of the working class and included significant labor reforms. Perón's wife, Eva Perón, also played a crucial role in his political career, advocating for women's rights and social welfare. After being overthrown in a military coup in 1955, he lived in exile for nearly two decades before returning to power in the early 1970s. His legacy remains influential in Argentine politics today.
