Eduardo Duhalde vs Yoshida Shoin

In January 2002, Duhalde's government ended the Convertibility Plan, which had pegged the peso to the U.S. dollar. The peso was devalued by 40%, leading to a sharp economic contraction but eventually allowing for export-led recovery.

Yoshida Shoin attempted to stow away on Commodore Matthew Perry's ship to study abroad, but was caught and arrested. This act of defiance against the shogunate's isolationist policy made him a symbol of resistance. He was imprisoned and later placed under house arrest.
