The Balkans Campaign  of World War I was fought between the Central Powers, represented by Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany and the Ottoman Empire on one side and the Allies, represented by France, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, and the United Kingdom (and later Romania and Greece, who sided with the Allied Powers) on the other side. The Balkans were a cluster of nations in eastern Europe, between the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires. 2. Their location made the Balkans strategically important, so European powers were focused on events there. ... The Balkans were disrupted by two wars in 1912-13, as well as rising Serbian nationalist groups.

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in the Balkan city of Sarajevo provided the Austro-Hungarian government with a pretext for crushing Serbian nationalism, something it had long desired,
 while nobody seemed to much care about the assassination itself, Austria-Hungary had been looking for an excuse to wage a “preventative war” against Serbia as a state in order to weaken or destroy them so as to take back territory in the Balkans, which had been taken during the Balkan Wars.  They had not taken it back up to this point because they lacked Germany’s support;

Eva (Evita) Perón's legacy has inspired books, musicals, & films; she escaped rural Argentina, where there were few opportunities, & gained prominence as a radio & movie star; Eva's popularity among masses assisted her husband (Juan Perón) in his rise to power; using her radio show to tell people about her husband's policies, she helped him win the support of the working class (whom she affectionately called the descamisados (shirtless ones)); although she didn't hold a political office, she received the honorary title "Spiritual Leader of the Nation"; promising redistribution of wealth, labor reform, & national glory for Argentina, the Peróns threatened security of the wealthy who held power & gave hope to the poor; even in death, Eva Perón remained a controversial figure
Juan Perón had her body embalmed & had planned a large memorial to immortalize her, but his government was overthrown & he was sent into exile in 1955; at that time, the new government hid her body in an attempt to get rid of any evidence of the Perón years; her enemies buried her in a secret grave in Italy, where her body remained until the 1970s; her; her body was eventually returned to Argentina & laid to rest in a family cemetery in Buenos Aires
Her legacy has been subject to different interpretations over time; her supporters view her as a powerful female leader who championed of the poor & middle classes; those who opposed her said she manipulated the masses for her own ambitions; historians continue to sift through diary entries, political documents, & letters to unravel more about the mysteries of Eva Perón
Controversy surrounding Perón rule's reflective of political & social divisions within Latin America
Most nations in South America had gained their independence from Spain by the middle of the 19th century; throughout the remaining decades of that century & into the 20th, many South American nations struggled with political instability; governments rose & fell quickly & military coups d'etat were common; Juan Perón of Argentina is just one example of these political struggles
