胡安.庇隆(1895～1974年)

Perón, Juan (Domingo)

阿根廷总统（1946～1955、1973～1974）。在念完军事学校後，1930年代服役於义大利，在那里见识到法西斯政权的成功。1943年协助别人推翻无效率的文官政府，後任劳动与社会福利部长，在劳动工人中累积了一群死忠派人士，1946年帮助他当选总统。庇隆的政治观点既偏极左又偏极右，他在对劳工散发过多的福利的同时，却严厉钳制人民的自由。他的妻子爱娃.庇隆的魅力使他的政权越受欢迎。1951年再次当选总统，但严重的经济衰退和社会上逐渐累积的不满因素造成他在1955年被一群具有民主思想的军官推翻。庇隆在西班牙流亡二十年，但对阿根廷事务的影响仍持续不断。当庇隆主义党合法後，他缺席当选为总统，不过在他回国掌权後不到一年即过世。亦请参阅Peron, Isabel。

1895～1974年

Perón, Juan (Domingo)

President of Argentina (1946-55, 1973-74). After attending military school, he served in the 1930s in Italy, where he observed the successes of the Fascists. In 1943 he helped overthrow Argentina's ineffective civilian government. As secretary of labor and social welfare he built a loyal following among industrial workers, who helped elect him president in 1946. Perón's political views drew on both the far left and the far right: while he showered workers with much-needed benefits, he restricted civil liberties severely. The charisma of his wife, Eva Peron, greatly increased the regime's standing with the populace. He was reelected in 1951, but a disastrous economic decline and increasing disaffection among many elements of Argentine society led to his overthrow in 1955 by democratically inspired military officers. He lived in exile in Spain for two decades, but continued to influence Argentine affairs. When the Peronist party was made legal, he was reelected president in absentia; he died less than a year after returning to Argentina and assuming the presidency. See also Isabel Peron.
