Hipolito+Irigoyen

Hipolito Irigoyen​ Hipolito Irigoyen (1852 - 1933) was a lawyer, teacher, rancher, and politician. Served as Argentinean President from 1916-22 and 1928-30. Was the first president in Argentina elected by broad and popular demand.

During Irigoyen's first term he issued reforms that regulated the working conditions. However, Hipolito didn't enforce his reforms and eventually lost support. Corruption and the inablility to execute democratic reforms, coupled with the economic decline of the Great Depression, allowed an almost bloodless military takeover by a military coup in 1930.
