Background In the lead up to the coup, the Yrigoyen government brought more power into the presidency and away from the legislature by sending large groups of his followers into the provinces, cutting off the Conservative support base.Alemán Eduardo Saiegh Sebastian 2014 Political realignment and democratic breakdown in Argentina, 1916–1930 PartyPolitics 20 6 852 By 1922, the democratic legitimacy of the government was in question and support for Argentine democracy had begun to waver. Uriburu's coup was supported by the Nacionalistas. Uriburu himself was part of the Nacionalista Argentine Patriotic League and had the support of a number of Nacionalista military officers. Nacionalista plans for such a coup had been developing since 1927, when politician Juan Carulla approached Uriburu for support of a coup to entrench an Argentine version of Fascist Italy's Charter of Labour.David Rock.

Berkeley: University of California Press, 1993. p. 89. 978-0520203525 With the onset of the Great Depression in 1929 that impacted Argentina, Yrigoyen lost political support as he retrenched government services which resulted in acceleration of unemployment. Opposition parties won the congressional elections of 1928 and 1930. Yrigoyen's consolidation of powers drew condemnation even from politically aligned parties, and the opposition parties formally protested his rule on 9 August 1930.Alemán Eduardo Saiegh Sebastian Political realignment and democratic breakdown in Argentina, 1916–1930 PartyPolitics 20 6 860 On the 20th, this statement was joined by a similar protest issued by the opposing faction within the Radical Civic Union. Aftermath In the aftermath of the coup, major changes to Argentinean politics and government took place, with Uriburu banning political parties, suspending elections, and suspending the 1853 Constitution. Uriburu proposed that Argentina be reorganized along corporatist and fascist lines. The coup marked the start of the Infamous Decade, a 13-year period during which the military ruled Argentina through repression, political corruption and electoral fraud.
