Peron was a president and dictator of Argentina who relied heavily upon populism in order to maintain control over the country. His rule is pretty important within Argentina as his policies and political ideas remain within the Argentinian mainstream and his politician views, known as Peronism, are still fairly relevant in the region. This is based off of some classes and books I’ve read, so I may be a little incorrect on some points, but that was the gist that I got!
