Abstract
In the early twentieth century, the Argentine Partido Socialista, the main social-democratic party in Latin America, embraced the concept of 'healthy patriotism', based on the social progress of the majority. This paper examines the changes in party identity regarding nationalism in the 1930s by using local sources and global socialism. I argue that the PS underwent significant shifts adopting a 'bourgeois' idea of patriotism, which was strongly contested by the party until then. In this line, it played a prominent role in promoting the Malvinas cause, all of which is connected to broader political transformations of that time
