Así era el BIZARRO E INSOLITO Buenos Aires del siglo XVIII: 4 historias reales

Did you think that roadblocks, traffic chaos, transport strikes, or political tantrums were a modern invention of Argentina? Not at all! In this video, we're going to travel back in time to the viceroyalty era to discover the most bizarre, unusual, and hidden side of Argentine colonial history. Through four true and documented stories, you'll see how our ancestors dealt with completely absurd situations that school textbooks prefer to forget. From a patron saint chosen practically by force through a lottery, to the first transport strike in our history amidst the mud of Buenos Aires, to a political war unleashed over control of a cushion and an official state protocol for combating insect plagues through prayers paid for with taxes. Prepare your mate, get comfortable in your chair, and discover the true chaos of colonial life!
