Explanation:
"Corriente" here seems to mean a "tendency" or "point of view" within the army. It certainly does not refer to a "branch" of the army!

Suerte.

By the way, the military coup in Argentina was in 1930, not 1934.

and there was no change of power in 1934 - Justo was president from 1932 to 38

Pedro Ramirez was in the coup in 1943, not 1934.

  -> Thank you, Milica

neutral  patinba: I think it is more "a move within the army" than a separate faction, and the neutrality being mentioned could refer to the Spanish Civil War which began with a coup in 1934
42 mins
  -> The military coup in Spain, starting the Spanish Civil War, was in 1936. "1934" may just be a slip of the pen by Susiq.

agree  Marcelo González: nice rendering; "a faction WITHIN the army" is commonly used as well
1 hr
  -> yes, that's a good option. Thanks
