The Great Depression had significant effects on Argentina, leading to political instability and changes in government. Among the options you provided, the most accurate statement is:
**The military seized power and ruled for more than 20 years.**
The economic turmoil caused by the Great Depression led to widespread dissatisfaction with the existing political system in Argentina. In 1930, a military coup ousted President Hipólito Yrigoyen, representing a shift towards authoritarian rule. The military government that followed set a precedent for military involvement in politics, resulting in a succession of military regimes and civilian governments, some of which were authoritarian in nature, lasting through the 1950s and into the 1960s. This period also marked significant changes in Argentine politics, including the rise of populism and figures like Juan Domingo Perón.
