Latin America Populist

                             How did either Getulio Vargas of Brazil or Juan Peron of Argentina gain and retain the support of urban workers?

                                Peron was aware that the support of labor would be important to his political power. He increased wages for workers and enacted social legislation. Trade union increased in membership during this period and when Peron was imprisoned in 1945. Angry workers pressured the government to release him from prison. The workers also helped Peron win the election of 1946. Urban workers looked up to Peron because he thought political power was important.
