You won't find this in any history book, not for the next 50 years probably. English ain't my language, and you could find glitches.

The external Argentinean debt matter is a very complex issue.

There have always been internal economical groups in the country culturally unaligned with the best interest of the nation. Along with external economical groups, they got by now aproximately 60 years of bad influence in Argentina. They controlled the media, the upper political, militar and clerical circles.

They managed to get full control of the country several times, those times are what you usually associate with the massive acquisition of new debt. The first move they did was done in 1956, then again, several times during the 70's, then in the 80's and finally, and taking debt to a record level, in the 90's.

The population has been thoroughly manipulated and controlled to support many of these economical plans, purposely beneficial for them, but actually assembled to enrich the upper circles, secure the control and giving the close supporters a cut. And then you have a full country fully controlled by plain hunger and long hours of work (+14), the population enough desperate they cannot get to assemble a minimal resistance.

Of course there was resistance, and it was labeled by international media as a whole "guerrilla", even when only a small minority of the resistance was actually violent.

Obviously the upper circles feeded and encouraged the violent resistance groups as a way of enforce their points of views and build support for "stronger action". Those "stronger" actions led to the dead of thousands of innocent eventually, and were the real motivation for the military coups during the second half of the XX century in Argentina.

Thousands were killed by straight violence, from the state o from the violent groups. But actually, the dead were a couple of millions during the last 50 years: the level of poverty were so high that these people have nothing, and they keep dying silently, in the background, thoroughly covered by the internal and external economical interests, the massive media, etc.

The resistance, the small minority of the upper economical, political, military and clerical establishment got another chance to take back the control of the country in 2001.

At last, after a long fight and millions of casualties, Argentina was free for the first time in almost 60 years.

Since then, the new order kept the rest of the upper classes under strong control, and started paying the debts (not taken by them), to take back the country to a status more related to a modern country than the Tortuga Island style management from 1956-2001.

Many of the economical actions of the new order had to be related with spending of vast economical resources, mostly given them back to the population by welfare state politics.

This is "giving back" as opposed to "giving a gift for not working", returning the wealth illegally and criminally stolen by the economical groups during decades.

This is what you could read in the mass media tagged as "populism". And now you could understand why that was not true.

The external economical groups did not like how Argentina escaped from their control, how the country got the their freedom back, because they begin to "lose" money, "their" money was actually economical wealth from the people of Argentina. With the "money" in their hands, the people was mostly incapable of getting a job, food, health attention (from the state and they couldn't get a job to pay for they own medical attention).

These dudes keep trying to trigger several economical, military and political chaos during the last decade.

Some american citizens like to think that the most powerful economical groups are "american", and they play for the best interest of the US, always, no matter what. That of course, is not true. Sadly, they already paid the price several times, just like Argentina did (60's > racism, 70's,80's,90's,2000's > military industrial complex).

These economical groups do not respect or are interested in keeping the nation-states in control of their fate, nor the actual freedom of people - i.e. not working 14 hours a day - is a high priority in their currently ongoing strategies of pan-national control.

The Argentina case in just another movement in much more, larger scale, long term, continued global strategy game for control. China and Russia don't let these boys play hard in their sand boxes, but the rest of the world is free-to-play.

And now you also know what exactly means "free-to-play":

Or you still think terrorism what this is all about? More probably, just money.
