Encyclopedia Britannica, 21\u00a0Sept. 2015. Web. 14 Nov. 2016.<\/p>\n<p>This article gives a brief overview of the concept of Caudillismo. It uses specific examples such as Domingo Faustino Sarmiento\u2019s book <em>Facundo<\/em>, written in 1845, which gives a \u201cclassical interpretation of Latin American caudillism,\u201d (Riz) to back up its evidence, as well as mentioning specific caudillos throughout Latin American history which allows the reader to gain a brief but thorough understanding of how caudillism began in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century. This particular article could be helpful for our project due to its clear definition and basic examples of several methods that different caudillos have used over time. Looking at a more pertinent example for our group\u2019s main area of focus, this article looks at many caudillos, including Argentina\u2019s Juan Manuel de Rosas, who was known for his \u201cphysical vigor, spontaneous cruelty, and \u2026 despotism,\u201d (Riz). The text offers insight into the varying meanings of the term caudillismo, which since the origin of its name has generally meant \u201ca system of political-social domination, based on the leadership of a strongman,\u201d while caudillo was used to describe the \u201chead of irregular forces who ruled a politically distinct territory,\u201d (Riz). These distinctions could prove useful in our project with its analyzation of the different uses of power in this time period in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century.

N.p., 30 Sep. 2013. Web. 14 Nov. 2016.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This article is exclusively on the history of Juan Manuel de Rosas, often referred to as \u201cRestorer of the Laws,\u201d a tyrannical Argentinian dictator who ruled from 1829-1832, and again from 1835-1852. Honing in on this power figure will help this project be more focused, rather than simply flitting from point to point, giving us a clearer insight into the ideologies of, not just Rosas, the caudillos in general. Using Rosas as a focus figure provides insight into the rough reigns the caudillos had over those they ruled, and I find the controversy surrounding Rosas\u2019s rule quite interesting. He was a very strong, yet feared ruler. Many argue that his brutal ways were similar to that of Spanish colonialism, and that he paved the path for future political violence. However, there are others that \u201csee him as a great defender of Argentine sovereignty, culture, and national identity\u201d (Shumway). For instance, the article uses the common terms \u201cleft-wings,\u201d who were the anti-Rosas liberals, and \u201cright-wings,\u201d to describe the Rosas supporters; Revisionists. It takes a look at some of his successes and failures, as well as his heavy hand on those who opposed him. I think that this article will help us to delve further into understanding the powerful leaders, good and bad, at that time as we explore the era of the caudillos.
