one of the dogs.....
oh and the history test today..... i failed.
I have been studding this test for weeks, and all day today. I knew i didnt know everything, but i thought i had a general idea of what was going on. There were four questions, very specif to the history of Argentina. It was over the history from (1916-1930)i didnt pass the test, but i do feel like i know alot about Argentina history.
Yrigoyen was president from 1916 to 1922, and again from 1928 to 1930. Alver was president during the period inbetween. The UCR (radical civil union)wanted to fix the system. Starting with the university reform. The reform started in Cordoba Argentina, spread to Buenas Aires and eventally to all of south america. The university reform, was to change the universities. They didnt like the leader, how relegion was forced into the universities, and how the teachers were chosen by one man. The reform wanted more freedom in the universities, so they could teach the way thwy wanted to, also to choose the teachers they wanted.
The tragic week happened in 1919, this week there was a strike in buenas aires. the workers wanted better conditions. The president ordered the armed forces to stop the strike, over 700 people died.
There was also a strike in Patagonia, they people were changing the prices of materias primas (cotton, cerals, beef) they government didn't approve. The armed forces were called in again, and 1,500 people died.
During world war one Argentina remained neutral,even though the united states wanted Argentina to join with them. Argentina remained nuatural so that they could export things to Europe and issue credit to Germany. They had a very strong connection with Great Brittian. This soon ended with the econmic crisis. Argentina then started buying things from the USA, like cars and busses. After this Argentina couldnt export anything. It had no value, and the econmy fell even more.
Now, i know that isn't perfect and I'm sure im missing alot. but that should count for something right?
