Juan Manuel de Rosas was a prominent Argentine politician who served as the Governor of Buenos Aires Province and President of the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata and Argentine Confederation from 1829 to 1852. During his rule, he faced several significant conflicts, including the Argentine Civil War (1831-1852) and the War of the Confederation (1836-1839). Rosas's authoritarian regime and brutal methods, such as the use of the Mazorca paramilitary group, allowed him to maintain power for an extended period. His rule was marked by a strong centralization of power and a strict enforcement of order, earning him both admirers and detractors.
