Early life of Juan Perón

Mario and Juana began to cohabitate the following year, in a house built in Roque Pérez (a small village near Lobos).

Under the highly strict social customs of the time, an illegitimate son would not be accepted by the military, nor a child with indigenous ancestry.

So, with the help of social relations of her late husband, she forged[clarification needed] a birth certificate that would allow Juan to pass the requirements.

The Argentine army was highly Germanophile, an influence that began about 1904 (predating the World Wars) and was based on not a rejection of democracy but an admiration of German military history.

He began boxing training as well, besides his military career, but he gave up after a bad punch injured the metacarpal bones in his hand.

[5] There were political discussions in Argentina by this time about the implementation of universal suffrage, promoted by the Radical Civic Union and resisted by the governments, until it was sanctioned by the Sáenz Peña Law in 1912.

He distrusted the lessons of history, as he noticed that it focused on circumstantial details about José de San Martín's life as a moral example but did not analyze his reasons for leaving South America and spending his last years in Europe.

The exercise was organized by Agustín Pedro Justo and generated a press scandal as he left the army stationed in the open during the summer noon day sun.

Enrique Pavón Pereyra, a Peronist, wrote that Perón was located in Santa Fe province at the time and moved to Buenos Aires by mid-1919 and thus was absent from the events.

Tomás Eloy Martínez, an anti-Peronist, conducted an interview with Perón that confirmed his intervention but that he used only the supply of ammunition that was present.

[9] As a military man, it was unlikely that Perón supported the rioters because anarchism calls for the disestablishment of the government and the armed forces and rejects nationalism.

However, he made sympathetic comments about the riot years later but rejected the anarchist or communist affiliation of the rioters and considered them as mere workers.

There were labor conflicts at the north of the province, where the British Forestal Land, Timber and Railways Company faced the first local strike action.

The company rallied a band of thugs to attack the strikers, arranged blackouts, cut the water supply, and closed the single warehouse in the area.

Juana returned to Patagonia with her son Mario Avelino (who visited Buenos Aires for his father's funeral); Juan Perón would have little contact with them afterwards.

Solari was aligned with José Félix Uriburu, one of the heads of the Argentine military in those years, the other being Agustín Pedro Justo.
