Answer:

A major gas leak occurred in a pesticide factory.

Explanation:

    The city of Bhopal is located in central India, it was the scene of one of the greatest tragedies in history. It all began on December 3, 1984, in an insecticide factory that used the following reaction to obtain its final product: methyl isocyanate.

    This raw material is a highly toxic gaseous substance. The factory used a large amount of gas and therefore kept the stock in the tanks. It happened that at dawn on the 3rd, due to numerous failures, the gas trapped in the tanks leaked completely. At the same time, thousands of people took to the streets feeling the following symptoms: difficulty breathing, burning eyes, dizziness, among others. The loss of vision was one of the consequences of the injured, and the worst, several people (including children) died the same day and the following days.

    Many pregnant women living in the city of Bhopal suffered instant miscarriages and most of the babies born in those days were killed. It was a real catastrophe. It is estimated that in the early hours the accident caused about 8000 fatalities. And in the years that followed, the death toll reached 22,000.

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
