Argentina is perhaps the South American country most talked about when it comes to the Second World War, likely because of its role in aiding the escape of Nazi war criminals following its chaotic end in Europe. However, Argentina only declared was in 1945, and against Imperial Japan and by proxy its ally Nazi Germany. So what was Argentina's role in the Second World War? Several coups, threats of invasion from Brazil, an earlier Falklands War and Nazi fugitives - all this and more in today's video!
