Abstract

This article analyses historian Tulio Halperin Donghi’s contribution to our understanding of the Argentine history of the interwar years. It suggests that Halperin Donghi stresses the importance of the 1916 - 1943 period, and in particular the 1930 s –the so called «década infame»– in order to explain the roots of the political instability of the second half of the XX th century. The paper highlights the differences between Halperin Donghi’s approach to the study of the XIX th and XX th centuries, describes its most relevant arguments, and sets his contribution within the larger debate on the significance and most salient features of the interwar period.
