Patriotic Leagues (Southern Cone)

Armed members of the Argentine Patriotic League roaming the streets of Buenos Aires.

The Patriotic Leagues (Spanish: Ligas patrióticas) were nationalistic political groups in Argentina and Chile active from the 1910s to the 1930s. The Patriotic Leagues were characterized by actions against foreigners[note 1] and opposition towards labour movements. They were often constituted as paramilitary groups or secret societies.
