In the troubled history of mankind and even in Argentina, March has been prolific in conspiracies, some successful and others less so. Without wishing to emulate a encyclopedia come to mind some
"Tu quoque fill me!"
"You too, my son say Cayo Cesar mumbled July when the Ides of March, the 15th of the month of the year 44 BC. It happened when they met to elect new consuls, is murdered by several senators, including his adopted son Brutus. Tacitus in his "Annals" that many phenomena first announced the death of Cesar Roman
"LXXXI. Caesar obvious wonders announced his approaching end. Few months before the settlers to whom the law had given Julia land in Campania to build cottages, ancient tombs destroyed, and since so much effort in the excavations that were used to find ancient vessels work. Kept in a tomb, they said, the remains of Capys, founder of Capua, found a brass plate kept in Greek characters and words with the phrase "When you discover the ashes of Capys, a descendant of Iulus perish at the hands of their relatives, but will soon be avenged by the misfortunes of Italy "(...) A few dates before his death knew (Julius Caesar) the horse by him to the gods before crossing the Rubicon, and had left wandering without a master, refused to eat and cried, for his part aurúspice Spurinna (Del lat. Haruspex, "ICIS. 1. m. priest in ancient Rome, examined the entrails of victims to make predictions.) warned during a sacrifice, that guards threatened danger to the Ides of March. On the eve of the same ides, having entered the Senate floor, called Pompey a wren (bird) with a laurel branch in its beak, birds of different kinds, outputs from a nearby forest, rushed upon him and tore. Finally the night precidió day of his death, believed in a dream that dated back to the clouds and put his hand on Jupiter, at the same time his wife Calpurnia dreamed that collapsed the roof of his house and killed her husband in her arms while her room doors will fly open by themselves. All these omens and the poor state of health made him hesitate for a long time about whether to remain at home the following day defer to what the Senate had proposed, but urged by Decimus Brutus not to wait in vain for the senators who were gathered early, left home was the fifth hour. On the way a stranger offered him a letter which revealed the conspiracy, Caesar took it and put it together for others to read then ... "
The Machine Infernal
In 1841 Argentina dominated the political scene (or Confederation Argentina) Brigadier Juan Manuel de Rosas also called The Restorer of the Laws. His bitterest enemies did not cease from Montevideo to machine turns. Among the little known tricks that plotted the unusual figure of an attack by a letter bomb, or rather, a parcel bomb. The story goes (Felipe Pigna "the myths of the history of Argentina 2"):
"On March 27, 1841, as every day Manuelita, daughter and secretary of the Restorer, received the correspondence. He was struck by a packet sent by the "Society Antiques of the North "in Copenhagen, Denmark. When Princess Federal "tried to open it, the lid is lifted sharply and hear a clunk. Chose to close it and take her father took it out quickly sensing something strange. Rose finally lifted the lid completely and could see inside 16 pistols distributed in a circular, which triggers were linked by a wire to the opening mechanism so as to make hardly opened fire. The mechanism failed, and Rosas was able to launch an endless laughter coupled with insults to the savage Unitarians. The operation was carefully planned by former federal Montevideo José fan Indarte Rivera. In early March (this year) arrived in Montevideo the box sent by the Society of Antiquaries, which was received by the ambassador of Portugal, Leonardo de Souza Leite Acevedo, friend of the restorer. Souza deposited the box in the Foreign Ministry in Montevideo with a note explaining that should be shipped to Buenos Aires and handed to Rosas. Informed employees of the Ministry who sympathized with the antiRo, Rivera Indarte could be done with the box and take it to the garage of one Aubriot. Between the two concocted the mechanism and changed the medals that originally contained the box for his deadly cargo. The case returned to the Ministry without anyone noticing his absence and was withdrawn by the French admiral's aide Dupotet, M. Bazin, who took her to Buenos Aires and give it to Manuelita.
Other Ides of March:
In 1461 the king was deposed Henry VI restored by Warwick in 1470, shortly after he was defeated and imprisoned in the Tower of London, where he was killed, is also murdered the Prime Minister Spain, Eduardo Dato is assassinated at the exit of the Parliament building in Madrid. In the National Government headed by Maura in 1918 was appointed Minister of State. He returned to the presidency in 1920-1921, a period of strong labor unrest, he tried to calm promoting social legislation (for which created the Ministry of Labour), but did not stop the spiral of terror and repression, especially in Barcelona. He was killed by three Catalan anarchists, who was shot from a motorcycle with sidecar, near the Puerta de Alcalá Madrid, he returned the Senate.
The Gordian knot I
During the reign of Alexander Severus, Gordian (which was a 80 year old) took a risk with the dangerous African government. As proconsul Gordian, Maximino Trayax killed the Emperor Alexander Severus and proclaimed his successor. Maximino was not a popular emperor, and general discontent caused by his oppressive rule culminated in a riot in Africa 238. Gordian echoed the popular clamor and took charge of both the emperor as the title of Africa on 22 March that year, caring for their elderly, to associate the throne to his son Gordian II. A few days later entered the city of Carthage, being cheered by the population and local leaders. Meanwhile in Rome the Praetorian Prefect of Maximinus was murdered, and it seemed that the rebellion would succeed. The Senate confirmed as emperor Gordian and most provinces did their part. Curiously, the opposition to his reign would come from neighboring province of Numidia. Capeliano, governor of Numidia and loyal to Maximinus Trayax renewed its alliance with the former emperor and invaded the province of Africa with several legions of veterans. Gordian was defeated, and his son Gordian II was killed in battle. Saddened by the death of the latter, Gordian committed suicide. Emperor was only 36 days. Little is known of his private life, assuming his name that his family came from Phrygia (Anatolia). He put the son of Marullus, of the illustrious family of the Gracchi, and Gordiana Ulpia. I was just an equestrian family, but of great wealth, but it was moving up the hierarchy until he entered the Senate. She had two children: Marco Antonio Gordian (Gordian II) and DFAIT's mother Faustina Gordian III.
It falls church
In 1752 in Argentina, the collapse of most of the Cathedral of Buenos Aires. After its reconstruction, was again open for worship on March 25, 1791. It was rumored in those years it was a deliberate sabotage by the Freemasons, which is unlikely at this time.
and closing the infamous: March 24, 1976 Dictatorship
Although it was no surprise, that March began a civil-military conspiracy whose consequences we are suffering and even at 28 years of this situation still not deleted the tracks enough to understand what kind of society somo or want to be.
