Question
With reference to one Latin American country, evaluate the extent of popular mobilization and repression between 1929 and 1939.
Markscheme
Candidates will make an appraisal of the extent of popular mobilization and repression in any one Latin American country between 1929 and 1939. Although candidates may vary in the amount of weight given to popular mobilization and repression in their responses, there should be at least some discussion of each. Examples to be evaluated may include the extent of repression in Argentina under the military governments of Uriburu and Justo and the degree of popular mobilization by the labour movement. The fall of the repressive military government in Chile under Ibanez might be applied though it may be argued that Alessandri continued the repression. Popular mobilization in Chile during this period was largely centred in the trade unions. Brazil, under Vargas, might be applied as an example of repression during the Estado Novo with its ban of national trade unions in response to the popular mobilization led by the Integralists.
