1892 Argentine Presidential Election

10 April 1892 · The oligarchic republic

An 1888 massacre of a May Day gathering and an unprecedented financial crisis led to the formation of the first meaningful opposition to develop as reform movements in urban areas, culminating in the Revolution of the Park that forced Juárez Celman's 1890 resignation.

An indirect electoral-college contest of the oligarchic republic: voting was public, participation tiny, and the outcome largely arranged by the ruling circle.
