I think this article could use some more information and examples regarding the first wave of latin american populism. Right now all we have is the following:

"The first wave of Latin American populism began at the start of the Great Depression in 1929 and last until the end of the 1960s.[3] In various countries, politicians took power while emphasising "the people": these included Getúlio Vargas in Brazil, Juan Perón in Argentina, and José María Velasco Ibarra in Ecuador.[4] These relied on the Americanismo ideology, presenting a common identity across Latin America and denouncing any interference from imperialist powers.[5]"

We could expand on this with examples like the Cuban Revolution in 1959 (and with it, populist figures like Che Guevera and Fidel Castro). I'm going to work on gathering some examples and sources, but if anyone has thoughts or suggestions please add them to the talk page!
