''"La Semana Tragica"'', or the tragic week, begins on January 7, 1919, when police launch a crack down on militant workers, who had been striking for several days, at the Vasrna Metallurigical plant, killing some. In retaliation, a general strike, backed by anarchists and syndicalists, was called for January 10 and 11. As a result, Socialist press in Buenos Aires recorded 700 dead, over 55,000 imprisoned and 4,000 injured. The Argentine government and media publicly blamed the uprisinig as the work of ‘foreign agitators’.
