AHC: More Economic Miracles in the Third World

Argentina - I think having someone aside Hipolito Irigoyen like Elpidio Gonzalez to be elected as president in 1928 because Irigoyen by the time of his second election, he was too senile to govern thus when Great Depression happened, his government was not able to deal with the consequences of the depression. 1930 coup was the start of political career of Juan Peron and had the coup never happened, he would not be involved in politics, thus saving Argentina from hell of becoming a poor country from being the rich at the dawn of 20th century.

Brazil - Have the 1930 coup like in Argentina never happened and prevent Getulio Vargas from becoming dictator and elected president. That coup like in Argentina stalled the efforts of formation a stable political system that time that only happened recently in which Brazil lost its opportunity to become an economic superpower because it was saddled with series of coups and flawed economic model of import substitution method.

Chile - Have the 1925 coup and the Great Depression being butterflied away. These events destabilized Chile for the next 50 years because the military did not want a left leaning president to rule in Chile and these same events galvanized the socialism support among Chileans that led into the election of Salvador Allende as president in 1970, the president who should have not been the president if not for the flawed electoral system that time.

Mexico - Have Porfirio Diaz stayed in power until 1910, never run and step down after an honest election in which Madero maybe his successor. Porfilio Diaz insistence of staying the power became the rationale for the one of the worst mistake that Mexico had, the Mexican Revolution, in which the eventual winner, Venustiano Carranza and Alvaro Obregon, formulated the establishment of the one of the most corrupt political party in the world and ruled Mexico for the next 70 years, the Institutional Revolutionary Party, the party who implemented series of nationalizations of industries like in energy which prevented Mexico from becoming an energy superpower like Saudi Arabia.
