After [[World War II]], with Europe in ruins, Perón's ambition was to transform Argentina into a superpower. He nationalized/expropriated several foreign companies (mostly British-owned) in order to achieve complete autarky, launched a five-year plan focused on economic growth and infrastructure, and started developing a nuclear program on Huemul Island.

He remained sympathetic to fascism, and granted asylum to many [[Nazi]] [[War crimes|war criminal]]s and collaborators as part of his own version of Operation Paperclip, most notably [[Adolf Eichmann]], [[Josef Mengele]], Croatian dictator [[Ante Pavelić]] (leader of the [[Ustaše]]) and Otto Skorzeny, the former [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]] bodyguard and ''[[Schutzstaffel]]'' officer who rescued [[Benito Mussolini]] from house arrest in 1943; Skorzeny was Perón's close advisor and Evita's bodyguard (and, presumably, even her lover). However, Perón himself wasn't anti-semitic.

Perón's regime was certainly repressive and intolerant of opposition, but not in a murderous way. He favored [[censorship|media suppression]], and intimidation, persecution, imprisonment and [[torture]] of prominent critics both left and right over straight-up forced disappearances. But that slowly began to change following the 1947 [[Rincón Bomba massacre]], a brutal eviction of members of the indigenous Pilagá people, which technically constitutes [[genocide]].
