Quick Summary

Roberto Mar\u00eda Ortiz served as president of Argentina from 1938 to 1942. His presidency occurred during the "Infamous Decade" (1930-1943), a period marked by conservative rule and limited electoral fraud. Ortiz aimed for more proper electoral procedures, even calling for federal intervention in the province of Buenos Aires to address corruption. However, his poor health led to his resignation in 1940, and Ram\u00f3n S. Castillo took over, restoring the conservative coalition to power. During this time, Argentina maintained neutrality in World War II, attempting to balance trade with both the Allies and the Axis powers.12
