The video covers the history of Argentina from 1880 to 1916, highlighting the importance of the debt crisis, the development of political parties, and the electoral process. It also discusses the rise of the radical left and the defeat of radical movements, culminating in the election of President Roque Saenz Peña in 1912.

The porter of the club of progress decides to open the door of the carriage, and a shocking vision is presented: the leader of the radical union of civic and professional associations, Leandro N. Alem, has a gunshot wound to his right side. His body is transported to the club's salon, and an improvised ceremony is held to farewell the advisors to one of the key figures of the political era, the voice of the revolution, who died on a table with his face veiled by his vicuña coat. From 1880 to 1916, Argentina had a republican government. The autonomist National Party (PAN) was the first to hold power under the command of July Argentine Rocca, and then under Miguel Juárez Celman. Electoral fraud was the usual mechanism for elections. From 1890 to 1892, the social transformations resulting from massive immigration were becoming more and more apparent. Juárez, in office for 4 years, continued the economic policy of deepening the development of the export-based agricultural model that created a financial crisis. His economic policy deepened the
• 00:05:00 In the early 1880s, the conservative government of General Levalle was challenged by revolutionaries who built up strongholds around the plaza of artillery in downtown Santiago. By 9 a.m., the fighting had begun, and several uniformed police officers were slaughtered. By the end of the day, the revolutionaries had won the battle, and many dead and wounded police officers were piled high in the bocacalle. General de Valle retreated, and the battle ended by early evening. The next day, the revolutionary forces regrouped and resumed the attack, but they were soon met with stiff resistance. The modernists within the autonomist National Party began to push for a political reform in order to ensure free elections, but this was opposed by Rodriguez, who wanted to continue the fight. Roca decided to make a deal with Mitre - a single candidate for the presidential elections to be held the following year. Mitre was a man of the Unión Civica, where there were leaders like Bernardo de Irigoyen or Leandro N. Alem who advocated continuing the fight, but this led to the break-up of the Unión Civica. His followers formed the Unión Cívica Nacional
• 00:10:00 In 1893, shortly after he entered into political conflicts, President Luis Saenz Peña called on the former Conservative aristocrat, Leandro N. Alem, to be Minister. Alem's Radical opponents recognized him as a long-time comrade, and were confident that he and his followers would be repressed. Thus, they started up rebellions in Santa Fe, San Luis, and Buenos Aires, in an attempt to overthrow the Conservative regime in the Valley. Alem opposed this, and resigned from his post. The Congress then approved the intervention of the three provinces which the rebels had successfully taken. Six months later, there were three new rebellions in the provinces of Santa Fe, Corrientes, and Tucumán. Julio Argentino Roca, the new Commander in Chief, ended the rebellions. This put him once again in a favorable position, as the man necessary for the Conservatives. Leandro Alem died in 1896. Bernardo de Iriggoyen, leader of the Radical faction in Buenos Aires, attempted to form an alliance with the National Civic Union, but this was unsuccessful. Iriggoyen then broke with his nephew, Hipólito Yrigoyen, and formed a new party,

• 00:20:00 This video covers the history of the Order Conservador, which began to be respected by the citizens in the election of their authorities in 1880. The UGR abandoned the revolutionary struggle and, together with socialism, integrated itself into the electoral map. The party led by Hipólito Yrigoyen emerged as a national force above regional differences and class differences, with its acts becoming increasingly massive. In 1916, the radical formula with Hipólito Yrigoyen at the head won the presidential elections without fraud. Years of political instability led to their end with the Law of Sáenz Peña, which represented the key to a new period in Argentine history. A new methodology will govern the country during the next 14 years, with elections without fraud and the beginning of a new political policy in which the masses have a lot to say.
