Juan Manuel de Rosas becomes Caudillo of Argentina

Following social unrest and the murder of Facundo Quiroga, the legislature appointed Rosas governor with the sum of public power.

Social unrest led many to believe only Rosas could secure order, as compromise governors were seen as unable to do so. The murder of Facundo Quiroga in February 1835 increased this belief, so the legislature appointed Rosas governor later in the year, with the sum of public power.
