Evita was not invovled in helping Nazis escape justice. Juan Peron did that. Evita herself was not involved. And she was not a supporter of Mussolini or Hitler. Here is an article you should read, by an Argentine scholar who actually knows Argentine history:

She was a complete fraud, she supported a pro-Hitler dictator, see http://www.enrager.net/history/articles/1919-eva-evita-peron/

An event mentioned in this article is an October 21 selected anniversary.

I am very dissapointed that nothing is mentioned here about her involvement with helping nazis escape justice. (Anon)

I've indicated that she was nicknamed 'Evita', the artical jumped between calling her 'Eva' and 'Evita', without indicating this. I'm not sure if I've worded this in the best way, perhaps someone who knows how she got the nick, could put this in the artical? CS Miller 17:42, Apr 23, 2004 (UTC)

In Spanish, Evita is the standard nickname for Eva. Ejrrjs 02:14, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

At age 14, she lost her virginity to tango singer José Armani.

Could you please provide a reference to this (strong) claim? Thanks in advance, Ejrrjs 21:49, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

WHO ARE JUAN PERON? THE CASE "GIOVANNI PIRAS - JUAN PERON" (the truth on the origins of Juan Domingo Peron) ¿DONDE NACIÓ PERÓN? a sardinian enigma in the history of Argentina One of the most mysterious and fascinating cases of the modern history of Mamoiada, a village of the central Sardinia in province of Nuoro (Italy), is with no doubt the one of " Giovanni Piras - Juan Peron ":that is to say two names, two individuals, in truth were the same person. Sure, it is hard to believe that mythical General Juan Peron, three times president of the Argentine, was, exactly, Giovanni Piras, that same humble peasant that at the beginning of the century emigrated young in South America. You will all ask why this Giovanni Piras would have had to change identity or why Juan Peron hid his true origin. Piras had to create for himself an Argentine birth in order to avoid the call to the arms for war 1915-18 from part of his native land and to escape the officials of the Italian embassy, who searched the emigrant deserters. In that period Giovanni Piras, with the aid of powerful persons that were also friends, found the most suitable situation to creep in: a substitution of person was put into effect, which served also in order to undertake the studies to the Military Academy, granted only to the Argentinean citizens, born and nationalized in Argentine. To change identity was, in fact, the sole manner to enter the Colegio Militar. Once he became the President of the Argentine Republic, to greater reason his true identity did not have to be revealed, since the Argentinean Constitution states that the President of the nation must be native of the place. An irreversible process, a point of no return had been primed; the situation became very serious and dangerous for Peron because with the person substitution a fraud had happened to the State, a serious crime and not only for a politician. To reveal the true identity meant to compromise his credibility, his deep concept of native land, of " betrayal of the native land, and of being a true, genuine and faithful Argentinean ", that he exalted and repeated in many speeches; it meant to lose his rank, his uniform and his power. To rigor of logic, this was the reason for which he hid his true identity, a much dangerous one for his position; otherwise, Peron would have shown his true origin, as he went proud of it. Peron justified his great love for Sardinia and the Sardinians saying that the paternal great-grandfather had come from that island, therefore he had Sardinian blood in the veins, but later, his alibi of this declared ancestors did not stand firm. In one of the books of Enrique Pavòn Pereyra, a personal biographer of Juan Peron, a great enigmatic draw has a sentence (dictated to the writer from the exiled Argentinean in his Madrilenian house) on how he jealously preserved the origin of his birth rate; it reads so: “I have played with my destiny a magical bet, and I was successful until today conserving my origins as deep secret”. In Mamoiada this is a case debated from almost sixty years: in the 1951 N. Tola by the newspaper “Unione Sarda”; in the 1984 P. Canneddu whith the book “Juan Peron-Giovanni Piras two names one person”; today many doubts have been cleared in the report of Raffaele Ballore an the book of Gabriele Casula “¿DONDE NACIÓ PERÓN? un enigma sardo nella storia dell’Argentina” have illustrated the proofs collected, unmasking and effectively demonstrating plenty of the contradictions of Peron and of the Argentinean historians with documents and photographs, beyond numerous documented oral testimonies and coincidences. The great Argentine press and the living biographers of general Peron never answered to the appeals to discuss the case. Their indisposition to reconsider objectively and serenely the whole story is to be interpreted like fear of the truth and that their studies on the important personage could be knocked down and mocked. The case could feed ideological earthquakes or provoke patriotic resentments. The worries for the risk of tearing open this myth are comprehensible, but the historical truth must not have compromises. From the author’s part, to prove the true identity of Peron in no way must be seen as a discourteous action towards the Argentinean people nor a way to lessen the myth of their former President: if he was elected democratically for three times it means that he must have had some merit, indeed, together with Evita he remains a mythical personage in the entire Latin American panorama. Only after reading the report and the book an objective judgment can be expressed and a conclusion can be attained. The report is documented and deposited, every information is reliable; not only the several oral testimonies are there but, this time, also documentary and photographic proofs.

I'd've liked to edit the main article to include this and stuff from the enrager/AF article below, but I don't know enough about wikipedia.

More commonly known as Evita

If she's more commonly knwn as Evita, as the lead admits, then this article should be found at Evita instead of Eva, per Misplaced Pages article naming conventions. DreamGuy 10:42, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

Which She?

Her life and career are dramatized in the popular musical, Evita, co-produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber, which starred... Madonna in film, for which she won the Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Golden Globe Award.

To me, this seems to say Eva Perón won a Golden Globe for Madonna's performance. Any way, do we need this information here? -Not Logged In, Aug 29, 12:34 (UCT)

Concerning Eva Peron's cause of death

Peron died of cervical cancer not uterine cancer and most likely so did Juan Peron's first wife. Cervical is caused by the Human Papilloma virus. Dakota 17:13, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
